Donnie Yen is done with Ip Man, looks forward to new challenges ahead

Ip Man 4 marks the final time Yen will be playing the role of the Wing Chun grandmaster.

After playing the role of Wing Chun grand master Ip Man in four movies spanning more than 11 years, Donnie Yen is ready for something new. In fact, he is even ready to give up making kung fu films altogether.

“All good things come to an end, and I feel we’ve given Ip Man the most complete ending possible with Ip Man 4. As an actor, I also want to look for other roles and challenges. But I will still be making action movies. It’s not as if I’m retiring... I still need to pay the bills!” he said with a laugh.
