This will at least give us a taste of what a Yen vs Jaa showdown may potentially look like. Now lets throw in Thai martial artist/stuntman SIMON KUKE aka SARUT KHANWILAI in the mix as well! Kuke is best known for being part of Thai superstar TONY JAA’s stunt team.įor those fans who have been daydreaming about a match-up between Yen and Tony Jaa, this may be the CLOSEST thing we can get to that as far fighting style is concern. UPDATE: Check out the POLICY TEASER for IP MAN 3!

UPDATE: Latest BTS images featuring martial arts legend LEUNG KA YAN! (Thanks to our friend DANNY HO for the images.) No words yet on if “Bruce Lee” will be in the film in ANY capacity. This was confirmed by Sam the Man, Magnum Films, the distributor of Ip Man 3 in Australia and New Zealand, who shared the news on their Weibo (the China-based microblogging service) account. UPDATE: It is to no surprise that the planned fully CGI BRUCE LEE will NOT be appearing in the film due to “copywrite issues” from the BRUCE LEE ESTATE. It will be a small part featuring a fight between ‘Ip Man’ and ‘Bruce Lee’. UPDATE: Magnum Film’s Sam the Man have revealed (via Weibo) that “Bruce Lee” will indeed still be appearing the film and is being portrayed by an actual actor. Looks like we have to wait until the film comes out this Christmas to see exactly how ‘Bruce Lee’ will be portrayed. Thank you to TIGER HENG for passing along this information to us. Here is a message that was sent from Magnum Films to our source: An actor WILL be portraying ‘Bruce Lee’ in the film and CGI may still be added to alter the actor’s face. UPDATE: Contrary to earlier reports, it was brought to my attention that SOME CGI MAY still be used ala ‘Paul Walker’ in ‘Furious 7’. UPDATE: Check out the latest teaser poster for IP MAN 3 from Singapore! (Thanks to our good friend TIGER HENG for the image.)

This type of “de-aging” special effects have successfully been done most recently on Michael Douglas in ‘Ant-Man’ and Arnold Schwarzenegger in ‘Terminator: Genisys’. So our best guess is CGI may STILL be used to de-age Chan to look more like a teenage ‘Lee’. With ‘Bruce Lee’ supposedly being in his late teens when he first started training with ‘Ip Man’, there is obviously a major age gap compared to the 40 years old Chan.
