Production for Donnie Yen’s ‘Ip Man 4’ starts in 2018

[CEITEDMOFO]

Despite publicly stating that Ip Man 3 was his last Ip Man sequel, martial arts superstar Donnie Yen (Kung Fu Jungle) never ruled out the idea of revisiting the Ip Man character for a fourth time – but considering Ip Man 3 had somewhat of a swan song-feel to it, fans dismissed the possibility.

Additionally, Yen’s increasing popularity and demand in Hollywood with the recently released Star Wars: Rogue One and xXx: Return of Xander Cage raised the question: Why would Yen backpedal to the Ip Man role again, especially if Ip Man 3 was a perfect closing chapter?

Then in September of 2017, nearly a year after the release of the last Ip Man 3, Yen had this to say: “I want to share this very excited news with you all, my good friend Wilson Yip, who had directed all of my last three Ip Man series, tonight, we have decided to reunite and continue to make our next project together, Ip Man 4! Yes, I-P-M-A-N part 4!”

Today, Yen (via FB) shared the news that production for Ip Man 4 begins in 2018: “Some prefer to call me the IP MAN. Filming begins 2018, I am back!” Yen is also toying with the idea of Tony Jaa (SPL 2) being his next opponent in Ip Man 4 (via HK01).

We’ll keep you posted as we learn more about Ip Man 4. In the meantime, Yen can next be seen in Wong Jing’s Chasing the Dragon (aka King of Drug Dealers), where he’s taking on the role of real-life gangster Ng Sek-ho (aka Crippled Ho). And there’s also a Ip Man spin-off in the works, titled Cheung Tin-chi, with breakout star Max Zhang reprising his character from Ip Man 3 (rumors suggest that Yen may have a cameo as Ip Man).

Dont know where they can go with this one, unless its just him training Bruce Lee.
That said after that flop that was Iceman I can see why he would go back to it, but shyt is on its last legs now.

Iceman was good breh. I rather another killzone tbh.

Man Iceman was trash to me and that ending was ass, it could have been better if it had better direction and knew what it wanted to be, if they were gunning for action comedy go all out and do a stephen chow type movie, but they seemed confused, on top of that Donnie doesn't have much range.

SPL was aight though, I liked SPL 2 better than SPL 1 to be honest though.

 

[CEITEDMOFO]

I don't think I seen Iceman.

 

[FlyRy]

They should have never made a 2nd

Love the first have it on bluray
