In 2014, Soi Cheang Pou-Soi (SPL II) uncaged his first Monkey King film with Donnie Yen in the title role. In 2016, the director returned with a sequel that had Aaron Kwok replacing Yen as the lead. Then in 2018, Soi Cheang and Kwok returned for a third film.

This brings us to 2019 where we just received news from AFS that The Monkey King 4 is officially in-the-works. Currently, there is no word if Soi Cheang, Kwok or any of the previous cast members are returning, but given their track record, our bet is that the same team will be back for more.

In the meantime, we’ll be catching Kwok in the highly-anticipated John Woo-esque Project Gutenberg with Chow Yun-fat. Stay tuned!
