Yeoh added, “There were too many hugs and kisses and we all held hands all night.”

As for which of her on-screen companions went the hardest during the CinemaCon festivities, the Everything everywhere at once Star said Goldblum, 71 – who plays the Wizard of Oz in the film – was the obvious answer, but that his version of “showing up” just meant everyone got their fair share of hugs.
