UPDATE: While speaking to SCMP Donnie Yen addresses the rumors of Jackie Chan’s involvement in the film:

“That was totally wrong reporting. Chan is not [in the film]. We’ve already finished shooting and he was not a part of it. Rumours are rumours.”

There you have it, Chan is officially NOT in the film. However, there is still plenty to be excited about especially an on-screen duel between Yen and Scott Adkins. The film has wrapped production so stay tuned for a Teaser soon.

UPDATE: Check out the latest on-set image featuring SCOTT ADKINS and WU YUE alongside director WILSON YIP and action choreographer YUEN WOO PING!

Details of the plot has emarged via Jaynestars.com stating that the film follows “Ip Man’s disciple, Bruce Lee, arriving in the United States to open his own martial arts school. Bruce offends the local people and Ip Man appears in Chinatown to help Bruce establish a stronger foot in Chinatown and win over his adversaries. Showcasing the power and spirit of Wing Chun, Ip Man earns the respect of the locals. The film will also depict how kung fu grows its roots in the United States”.

It is also rumored that the one and only JACKIE CHAN will make a special appearance as a “respected Big Brother in Chinatown” who goes mano-o-mano with Yen’s ‘Ip Man’.

Take this with a grain of salt for now as we get confirmation.

UPDATE: Production on IP MAN 4 is set to start rolling in the United States this April. Leading man DONNIE YEN stated:

“I spoke with director Wilson Yip on the phone, but I’m not clear about all the details of the movie. I can only say that in the new movie, Ip Man will be looking for [his disciple] Bruce Lee in the United States.”

UPDATE: Director WILSON YIP officially confirmed some details regarding the plot of IP MAN 4 stating:

“In Ip Man 4, I’m inclined to show how Ip Man views his relationship with Bruce Lee. [The story] won’t be just about Ip Man. How in reality did Chinese martial arts practitioners live after they went overseas in the 1960s and ’70s? [The film will explore this] through Lee and his martial arts school the Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute, and his relationship with Ip.”

If scheduling is not in the way, Yip preferred choice is to have DANNY CHAN KWOK KWAN reprise his ‘Ip Man 3’ role as ‘Bruce Lee’, who will have “a very important presence” in the new film.

‘Ip Man 4’ is set to start production in March 2018 with a planned release at the end of that year.

  1. This is just wonderful news. Who could have thought this a year ago when Donnie himself said that Ip Man 3 might be his last MA movie. Now we are suddenly in for another eleven upcoming or planned movies, almost all of them MA movies. All the success gives hunger for more.

    I have celebrated this fantastic news with having an Ip Man evening, when I’ve been watching all three Ip Man movies straight after each other. Started about 20.00 cet and finished recently just before 02.00. Time to go to bed now. Thankyou Donnie Yen for the best trilogy ever. The movies are MAGIC.

  2. It will be very exciting to see what brilliant martial art choreography to be displayed in Ip Man 4! I very much have enjoyed this series from the very first and have had the pleasure of meeting one special crew member who did some choreography in the early films. Not forgetting the main character who I believe I had the pleasure of bumping into whilst shopping if my memory serves me right! This film with the extremely talented Donnie Yen I believe brought martial arts back to the modern fashion era of the arts with his fast and direct style and awareness! Now i would say the if you are looking for fitness, well being, meeting new friends, mental sharpness, social growth, culture, and group travel as the martial arts has been brought to a new level.
