X had alluded to the same press day near the end of last week; where Donnie Yen cleared up any misunderstanding that led everyone to believe that he would retire soon. The set of one of the most anticipated sequels for martial art film fans was finally opened up to the press late last week.
On the set of Ip Man 2 Donnie speaks frankly about the possibility of a third Ip Man film, Because Ip Man 2 will incontrovertibly become a classic, bettering the first. I believe it's best to end something when it's at perfection, and leave behind a good memory.
Director Wilson Yip speaks about the ultimate dual between Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung, For the sake of this scene, Sammo Hung and Donnie Yen have been planning it for a very long time, I believe it will become a classic, surpassing the first Ip Man film as well as SPL. As the duel takes place on such a small area (a round table), there will be an emphasis on the adroitness, and will be very thrilling.
And one of the biggest questions on everyone's minds after the first Ip Man was, "When do we get to see Bruce Lee?" Wilson said, "When filming the first installment, I was already being asked about Bruce Lee, though eventually, we didn't have him. In this sequel, we looked for a suitable candidate, and have completed his scenes. However, in the current 2.5 hours cut, I still have little inkling of which part of the film to put his scenes, and for how long."
