Selena Kuznikov Although Fala Chen teams up with the massive Kong to battle against a humongous hidden creature in “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” a minuscule monster snuck up on her at the premiere. “I got stung by a bee, but it’s okay,” Chen said. “I saw it on the carpet and was like ‘Oh there’s a bee, I should try to get rid of it,’ and then it stung me.” The TCL Chinese Theater and a portion of Hollywood Boulevard was transformed into a jungle wonderland on Monday for the premiere of the film.
The black carpet was surrounded by faux foliage, reminiscent of Kong’s home Skull Island. Chen, known for her role as Jiang Li in “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” told Variety that she had a fun time playing her character Iwi Queen, who rules over the Iwi tribe that once inhabited the Hollow Earth and Skull Island and communicates telepathically: “I don’t have a lot of lines, it’s just all through like my body language. It was quite a challenge but it’s also a lot of fun to have like a different way to communicate.” She shared that during the filming process, she practiced her nonverbal communication skills with co-star Kaylee Hottle, who is deaf and fluent in American Sign Language.
Chen said Hottle helped her learn how to be more attentive and present in her own communication. Hottle, who plays Jia, a young Iwi native who bonds with Kong, told Variety that she was grateful to work with cast members from 2021’s “Godzilla vs. Kong” again.
