Several fans took to Twitter to express their views on Mason Lee portraying Bruce Lee in Ang Lee's upcoming biopic. While some accused Ang Lee of nepotism, others did not seem too enthusiastic about the project itself.
Some fans also mentioned that they'd like to see Mike Moh, who played Lee in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, in the lead role.
Check out some of the reactions on Twitter:
Along with Ang Lee, Ben Everard, Lawrence Grey, and Brian Bell, Bruce Lee's daughter Shannon Lee will be producing the movie.
