In Sony Pictures Animation’s Wish Dragon, Din, a working-class college student with big dreams but small means, and Long, a cynical but all-powerful dragon capable of granting wishes, set off on a hilarious adventure through modern day Shanghai in pursuit of Din’s long-lost childhood friend, Lina. Their journey forces them to answer some of life’s biggest questions – because when you can wish for anything, you have to decide what really matters.

The film will feature an Asian-American cast led by Jimmy Wong as Din and John Cho as Long, a character that was also voiced by Jackie Chan in Mandarin. Joining them are Constance Wu, Will Yun Lee, Jimmy O. Yang, Aaron Yoo, Ronny Chieng, and Australian actress Natasha Liu Bordizzo.
