Michelle Yeoh has joined that recast of The Witcher: Blood Origin. The Star Trek Discovery star will play a character named Scían in the spin-off from Netflix's fantasy show The Witcher.

Netflix has released a description of Yeoh's character. It reads, "Scían is the very last of her nomadic tribe of sword-elves. No one can come close to her artistry with the blade, and no one carries as much loss within their heart. When a chance presents itself to retrieve a stolen sacred sword, taken from her fallen tribe by nefarious means, she launches herself into a deadly quest that will change the outcome of the Continent."

Yeoh has played Philippa Georgiou in three seasons of Star Trek Discovery to date. She will next appear in the Marvel movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and is also known for movies such as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Tomorrow Never Dies, and Police Story 3: Super Cop.
