TeenWolf's Arden Cho on declining the movie after reportedly being offered unequal pay 👀 'I think I was actually offered even less [than was reported]. [...] I was saying ‘no’ because I hope that there will be more equality in the future.' 😮👏
Teen Wolf star Arden Cho opens up about turning down the opportunity to appear in the upcoming revival movie. Although it first aired in 2011, Cho didn't join Teen Wolf show cast until season 3 in 2014. In the show, Cho played Kira Yukimura, an Asian American teen who possessed numerous powers, including the ability to absorb and manipulate electricity.
Teen Wolf ended in 2017 after season 6 , but fans remained passionate about the show and have long called for a revival. Earlier this year, it was announced that a movie was in the works with many of the original cast members set to return. Not long after the initial announcement, however, it was revealed that not only would O'Brien not be returning, but neither would Cho.
I think I was actually offered even less. I probably would’ve never shared it. [...] I could probably, off the top of my head, think of over ten Asian American actors I know who were paid significantly less than their counterparts. Sometimes you don’t have a choice to say ‘no.’ Sometimes you just need it. You’ve got bills to pay. [...] I wasn’t saying ‘no’ necessarily for me or because I was angry. I was saying ‘no’ because I hope that there will be more equality in the future.
Cho doesn't reveal how she found out about the pay inequality, but it's clear that the actor's decision not to return had nothing to do with the Teen Wolf movie's story. Unfortunately, she makes clear this isn't an isolated incident, either, and that Asian American actors continue to be paid less than their co-stars.
Yukimura's story ended on something of a cliffhanger in season 5, and many fans were understandably excited to see the character get a proper ending in the Teen Wolf movie. Cho was the only woman of color among the show's main characters and it remains to be seen whether the movie will introduce new characters to make the cast more diverse. While many fans may be disappointed regarding Cho's decision not to return for the Teen Wolf movie, her reasoning is more than understandable.
