It was announced at Cannes that action star Donnie Yen (Sakra, John Wick 4, Chasing the Dragon) will return as the legendary martial arts figure, Ip Man, for Mandarin Motion Pictures’ upcoming Ip Man 5.
Additionally, Mandarin Motion Pictures also announced Flash Point Resurgence (view preliminary poster), which will be a follow up – or possible sequel or reboot – to Yen’s 2007 hit film, Flash Point.
Lastly, Mandarin Motion Pictures and China’s Huace Pictures, revealed a third Yen project, titled Misjudgement (view preliminary poster).
According to The Arty Dans: Misjudgement is about a man who is framed for drug trafficking by a criminal syndicate in order to protect the identity of the real culprit. Yen plays the older version of the character who’s case has been taken on a new prosecutor who risks his career to reveal the truth. Two directors are linked to this film – Jie Han, who directed Jackie Chan in the 2017 drama film Namiya and Edmond Wong who is more well known for being the screenwriter for the Ip Man films.
Further details for the above films have not been revealed, but more than likely, Wilson Yip – the director of the original Flash Point, and most of the Ip Man franchise – will be involved in Ip Man 5 and Flash Point Resurgence in some way, shape or form.
