The Book of Boba Fett's Ming-Na Wen is having trouble choosing between Mulan and Fennec Shand for her Disney+ avatar. The Chinese-American actress is best known for voicing the lead role of Fa Mulan in Disney's animated films, Mulan (1998) and Mulan II (2004), also making a cameo appearance in last year's live-action remake of Mulan. Though Wen is perhaps just as well-known for her role in the Disney+ series, The Mandalorian, and its spinoff, Book of Boba Fett, which just premiered this week.
Wen made her debut as the master assassin, Fennec Shand, in season 1 of the Star Wars show, though she is seemingly killed off by a bounty hunter in her first episode. Wen was then able to convince showrunner Dave Filoni to revive Fennec, and she eventually returned in The Mandalorian season 2, rescued by the legendary Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison). While the first episode of their spinoff mostly focused on the titular bounty hunter's escape from the sarlacc pit and him being held captive by Tusken Raiders, Fennec is expected to play an important role throughout the series alongside Fett as the two fight to maintain control of Tatooine.
Now that Book of Boba Fett has premiered, Ming-Na Wen, has been meet with a hilarious predicament: whether to choose Mulan or Fennec Shand as her avatar on Disney+. After being torn between the two, Wen eventually settled on adding another profile, so she could have the best of both worlds. Check out her posts below:

Wen is well known for both roles, so it's understandable she would struggle to choose between the two. Other than Mulan and Star Wars, Wen is known for her role as Melinda May, a.k.a The Cavalry in the ABC series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. She also starred in the popular NBC medical drama, ER, for nearly a decade as Dr. Jing-Mei Chen, her fellow doctors affectionally referring to her as Deb. Wen should be glad that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't on Disney+ in the United States, as she would be torn between three of her beloved characters: Melinda May, Mulan, and Fennec.
The Book of Boba Fett was highly anticipated due to the return of Temuera Morrison in the titular role, though many are also looking forward to Fennec, previously a supporting character, getting her time in the limelight. With the show's marketing campaign revealing very little so far, there's no telling where their journey will take them. Both a Boba Fett and Fennec Shand avatar are now available on Disney+.
