In this movie about the battle between humans and AI, Van plays the role of the android Kami. She did not put any lofty expectations on this supporting role, she said, explaining that she knew many of her scenes could be cut. "Although I only appeared fleetingly, I still hope my character will leave some impression," she said. In her previous movies Star Wars and The Old Guard, Van’s characters were also not given much screen time. According to Van, few Asian actors have the opportunity to shine in Hollywood movies. She feels lucky to have an American agency to support her in choosing the right script. "I’m still taking small steps to prove my worth," she said. "Being able to appear in prominent projects is a chance for me to reflect and plan my next steps." In the process of filming The Creator, the leading lady action star said she had spoken at length with director Gareth Edwards about adding depth to her character.

Unofficial exchange points sold the greenback at VND24,550, up 0.41% from Sunday. Vietcombank kept the greenback unchanged at VND24,460. The State Bank of Vietnam lowered its reference rate by 0.12% to VND24,059. The dollar has increased over the dongn by 3.08% since the beginning of the year. Globally the dollar kicked off the last quarter of the year on the front foot on Monday as the prospect of higher-for-longer U.S. rates provided solid support, pushing the yen to an 11-month low, Reuters reported.
