“If the world is unfair, let our firsts bring justice.” If only it worked like that… Well Go USA has revealed the official trailer for an martial arts action movie called Ip Man: Kung Fu Legend, the latest in the never-ending Ip Man franchise. Originally started by Donnie Yen in a series of Ip Man movies from 2008 and the 2010s, this franchise continues on with Dennis To starring as the titular Wing Chun icon (who was famously Bruce Lee’s mentor). In 1950s Hong Kong, Ip Man leaves the police force to start his martial arts school. When a Western boxing gym acquires all local martial arts properties, he must protect the tradition from destruction and his way from being wiped out. This new movie stars Dennis To, Wang Wanzhong, Zhang Tingfei, Zhao Jingshuyu, Zhang Jie, Wu Xinzun, Tong Xiaohu, Zhou Xiofei, plus Steven Dasz and Li Yaojing. There is also another sequel to this, titled Ip Man: Kung Fu Legacy (not Legend), currently in production aiming for release in 2027 as the next follow-up. Looks like a badass fighting-for-the-people Ip Man movie to enjoy. Arriving on VOD starting in July this summer to watch at home anytime.
