Okay, hear me out on this: “Short Round - An Indiana Jones Story”.
Ke Huy Quan is obviously the lead. At this point in the timeline, Short Round is an adventurer in his own right, although he still wears his signature baseball cap.
Michelle Yeoh is the co-lead/love interest. For their dynamic, think Indy and Marion Ravenwood. Or Nathan Drake and Elena.
Chloe Bennet is the tritagonist. She plays an orphan who joins Short Round on his journey and later learns that she is his long-lost daughter.
Kento Yamazaki is the main antagonist. He plays a ruthless Yakuza boss who wants to destroy his rivals with the mythical item that Short Round is looking for.
Destin Daniel Cretton is the director.
Show is mostly set in 1960s Japan. The mythical item being sought is the “Cursed Sword of Muramasa”, a katana with magical properties, but curses the user with madness and a thirst for blood.
