Despite publicly stating that Ip Man 3 was his last Ip Man film, martial arts superstar Donnie Yen (Ip Man 3, Kung Fu Jungle) isn’t ruling out the idea of revisiting the Ip Man character for a fourth time.
In a recent round table discussion (read it here) by our very own Zach Nix, here’s what Donnie had to say: “There’s a potential for a fourth… I don’t know. So far, in Asia, we have broken a lot of records. Never say never.”
Additionally, Donnie vaguely hinted that he may be working on a sequel to his 2007 hit, Flash Point as well. “Yes. I will be producing Flash Point 2,” Yen told MAAC. We assume that he’ll be in front of the camera as well – at least we hope so.
Updates: Looks like a Ip Man 4 may happen. At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, a promotional poster for Ip Man 4 was unveiled. According to Pegasus Motion Pictures’ booth (via NA/DiP), Ip Man 4 is at early conceptual stages and “not to the extent of the script and given actor,” which means that Donnie Yen is not officially tied to the 4th Ip Man film – at least not yet. The article also suggests that Wilson Yip and Raymond Wong – director and producer of the series, respectively – are soon to be in talks for Ip Man 4.
In case you missed it, be sure to read about Max Zhang’s unofficial Ip Man 3 spin-off, which is currently in-development.
