Well Go USA is taking the reigns this season for sweeping fantasy adventure, Jiang Ziya. Following Jiao Zi’s 2019 blockbuster summer hit, Ne Zha, the new Chinese CG-animated sequel from debut directors Cheng Teng and Li Wei will open on February 7, which sits two weeks after its China bow.
Jiang Ziya, a top commander in the divine army of the Kunlun Sect, is victorious in the battle between the Heavenly powers and the Shang dynasty. Before he can ascend to his new position among the Gods, he is ordered to execute the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon who threatens the mortals’ very existence. But when the Fox Demon shows him the secret to her power, an innocent human girl, he is unable to complete his task resulting in his banishment to the mortal realm forever. Ten years later, atop the ruins of war, Jiang Ziya is again given a task that will bring him back to the Heavenly realm – execute the Nine Tail Fox Demon regardless if the innocent life is lost. Now Jiang Ziya must decide – follow the will of heaven or find his own path to becoming a true god.
Jiang Ziya hails a voice cast that lists Xi Zheng as Jiang Ziya, with Ning Yang, Meme Yan, Guanlin Ji, and Guangtao Jiang also voice starring.
