In the months since her breakthrough film, Chan appeared as Bess of Hardwick, confidante to Queen Elizabeth I, in ‘Mary Queen of Scots’, thanks to the colorblind casting approach of director Josie Rourke. This month Chan stars alongside Brie Larson in ‘Captain Marvel’, where she plays a blue-skinned sniper named Minn-Erva.  “I want to keep challenging people’s perceptions,” Chan told InStyle of her newfound fame. “I hope that the message has been received by now that diversity does pay off. People want to see these stories.”
