I suppose as far as bad news goes, it shouldn’t be too paining for folks in China currently awaiting the release of action star Wu Jing‘s solo directorial debut, Wolf Warrior, which has been under the post-production knife for some time now. The film is getting an IMAX 3D release and sees Wu as an insubordinate commando who, after earning reprieve for second chance with a new squad, is now forced to take on a horde of foreign mercenaries seeking to avenge one of their own, led by action star Scott Adkins.
Having completed well over a year ago, the film is one of a recent few Wu worked on which took a toll on his legs last year nearly ending his career. Thankfully the necessary surgery and recovery process have aided him so far as to grant his native audience a CCTV Spring Festival performance last month, and as you’ll see in the video at the very bottom of this page, he hasn’t lost a step.
It’s not yet clearly known if or when he’ll get back into his screenfighting element, although I, assuredly among many, welcome any surprises headed our way if any. In the meantime, Wolf Warrior has been granted a new release date set for April 2, as well as a new trailer you can now check out below. His latest prequel role in Terence Cheung’s S.P.L. 2: A Time For Consequences has already been granted a date in Malaysia tentative for July with further details pending.
