I don’t have real-time access right now, but here’s the latest I can share about Harry Shum Jr. from reputable outlets up to early 2025–2026:
- Death hoax clarified in May 2025: reports of his death were false; his representatives confirmed he is alive and well. This was covered by outlets noting it as a widespread celebrity death hoax.[1]
- Career updates around mid-2025: reports suggested interest in expanding The Crazy Rich Asians universe to TV, with discussions around series development and potential returns for Shum Jr.’s character, though specifics and official confirmations varied by outlet.[2]
- General press coverage through 2025: entertainment outlets tracked ongoing projects and fan interest, with coverage of his appearances and industry chatter rather than a single definitive new role announced at that time.[3][4][5]
