- Character posters of Ne Zha II.

- If the word "Ne Zha" rings a bell — yes, Michelle actually finished filming a Chinese live-action fantasy film Ne Zha back in 2016. It was nearly finished with top talent and effects, but serious financial disputes arose later that year. A lawsuit over unpaid wages (millions of RMB) between the production company Film Carnival and a production service company stalled the project. Despite being close to completion (I have seen an unreleased trailer - Michelle looked great!), the project appears to have been shelved indefinitely, and no final verdict from the lawsuit is publicly available.

The unfinished live-action film and the upcoming English version of the Chinese animation Ne Zha II were both inspired by the same stories of Ne Zha, a deity and legendary figure in Chinese mythology. Interestingly, Michelle played Lady Yin, Ne Zha's mother, in both productions.
