    So she's definitely in it in some form; her role is purely speculative.

    Nice!

    I'm guessing she's the "female Admiral" character, 54 seems a little old for a Lieutenant Commander.

    Glad to finally be hearing some news at the very least! Great pick-up for DSC!

    Agreed. Although CS speculates that Michelle Yeoh’s role is that of the female Lieutenant Commander, I think Michelle Yeoh will probably portray the older Captain/Admiral.

    I really like her, but I'm already dreading the inevitable "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Klingon" jokes...

    Wasn't she the Bond Girl from one of Brosnan's films? Or am I misremembering?

    What if, Discovery is filmed in China, a deal to cut on production costs, and the ENTIRE cast is Chinese?

    Somehow, I don't think so. Michelle Yeoh is 54, which is pretty old for a Lieutenant Commander. Although Starfleet doesn't seem to have an up or out policy and indeed many of the actors who have played Lt. Commanders were in their forties, or in the case of Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton and Michael Dorn in Nemesis, their fifties so I guess it's possible.
