Despite his age, Donnie Yen retirement is not yet in sight. Moreover, now is another peak in his career. Last May, at the Cannes Film Festival, the world action star amazed everyone with not one, but three major announcements of their new films"Ip Man 5","Misjudgement""and the most intriguing of the list is "Flash Point: Resurgance".
First "Hot spot"(Flashpoint) is rightfully considered not only one of the most successful martial arts action films in filmography Donnie Yen, but also generally occupies a leading position in action cinema. The 2007 film was a true lesson in how to incorporate MMA techniques into highly action-packed fights, and the final bout between Ian and co-star Colin Chow has become one of those fights that is watched over and over again, considered one of the best fight scenes in history.
There is conflicting information on the Internet, they write that "Hot spot 2", will be a prequel with Ian reprising his role as the doomed cop from the film."SPL"The question arises: how will this be implemented? So a sequel or a prequel? But these are details that you shouldn’t worry too much about, because the only thing that matters is that we are expecting a new action movie with MMA elements called "Hot Spot: Rebirth", where Ian controls all processes.
By the way, about the intention to film the second "Flashpoint"Chinese martial artist stated back in 2016. A lot of time has passed from words to deeds. Speaking of business: the ubiquitous movie fighter Scott Adkins spoke about the desire to star in the sequel to “Hot Spot”, and, one might say, received a direct offer from Donnie Yen, judging by their correspondence on Instagram:
Donnie Yen: are you joining?
Scott Adkins: to the sequel to one of the most innovative martial arts action games ever? Let me know when you're ready.
There's no confirmation yet that Adkins will join Ian in Flashpoint 2, but given the above, why not assume so? However, this may be prevented simply by the situation: filming of "Hot Spot 2" is due to start in April this year, just at the time when the British screen fighter will be involved in filming in "Kickboxer: Armageddon"There have been many cases when actors starred in two films at the same time, but what will happen this time is still anyone's guess.
We are waiting for new information, but for now let’s look at the fight in which Adkins and Yen have already fought (Ip Man 4):
Remake of the series "Kung Fu"
Talking about new projects Donnie Yen, it is impossible not to mention that he accepted the offer David Leitch to star in the remake of the series "Kung Fu", in which he played David Carradine. However, this should no longer be a series, but a full-length hand-to-hand action movie. In addition to directing, Leitch himself will also star in this film. Here's what he said about Ian:
Donnie Yen is not only an extremely talented actor, but also an action legend, and we are privileged to have a true martial artist in the lead role of this big film...
"Kung-fu"will be filmed directly under the supervision of the original author - Ed Spielman. While there are no more details, let's remember the original:

You can watch it once
The film is not bad, but the recent "City Hungter" is better in terms of action.
To be honest, there is no particular principle... when there is more time, an “old man” is added, when there is less time...
Not a bad idea. But I don’t understand something, on what basis are profiles added? And legends...
