May 24, 2023
Coming fresh off of the success of John Wick: Chapter 4, actor Donnie Yen will continue his on-screen run with Ip Man 5. The movie was announced at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival and the actor took to Instagram to confirm the news with a poster. The poster also seems to suggest that Yen will be taking a turn in the director’s chair.
Yen posted an official poster post the announcement which aptly features a Wing-Chun dummy, better known as a wooden man post, and multiple men lay defeated beside it, their fallen swords at the display. The poster evokes nostalgia for the long-running franchise, which first kicked off in 2008.
