Andrew Ahn directs queer rom-com, “The Wedding Banquet,” starring Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, and Han Gi-chan in theaters in 2025.
In Ahn’s version, set in Seattle, tells a larger story about a chosen family. Angela (Tran) and her girlfriend, Lee (Lily Gladstone), are trying to have a baby through IVF; their best friends, Chris (Bowen Yang) and his partner Min (Han Gi-chan), live in their guesthouse. While Angela and Lee struggle to decide whether to pay for another round of fertility treatments, Min faces pressure to go back to his native Korea to take over the family business. A wedding plot is hatched: Angela will fake-marry Min in a traditional Korean ceremony. That way, she can raise funds for IVF while he secures a green card—and creates a sheen of old-fashioned respectability for back home.
