Ming-Na Wen is 57!
Lawless is in her late 40s now, I think, and probably not up for all that (unless she wants to be)
When DH interviewed her in 2019 she said no thank you to starring in a hypothetical Xena reboot on TV because she always hated filming action scenes, so I doubt she'd be interested, sadly.
She can sit behind a desk and make cutting remarks. I'm fine with that.
That would be lovely
Ming-Na Wen is 57!
Ridiculous! Sigh. Bully for her. I hope she has a full-time professional masseuse. I certainly would if I were an action star at my age...
Keep in mind with Lucy Lawless that she broke her pelvis in multiple places falling off a horse coming onto the stage of the Leno era Tonight Show. I doubt it's ever fully recovered and probably causes her some pain.
Michelle Yeoh is 58 and I was watching her very convincingly beat the crap out of Jason Isaacs and assorted extras not that long ago. (Admittedly the scenes were shot about four years ago, but still...)
I would also accept Michelle Yeoh on The Mandalorian, provided it doesn't interfere with her being icily competent on ST: DISCO.
You could age her up a few years and swap in Marishka Hargitay.
