Despite saying in 2010 that he would never do another Ip Man film after Ip Man 2 because it’s all gotten too commercialised, Donnie Yen is without a doubt in this trailer for Ip Man 3… as is Mike Tyson. You know you’ve gone mainstream when that guy gets a cameo.
Nice sticking to your pretentious guns there, Yen. We wonder how much money it took you to break.
Hollywoodisation and Tyson aside, the Wilson Yip-directed offering does look like a wild ride into suspended reality, with the legendary Ip Man – a real life martial arts master who lived in Hong Kong and taught the likes of Bruce Lee, if you don’t know – seemingly kicking the ass of the whole world.
The movie is set to be released on Jan. 22, 2016 in the United States, so we guess we can expect it a leisurely while after that.
