The Ip Man series is based on the true story of Ip Man, played by Donnie Yen, who lived from lived from 1893 to 1972.
Just the simple fact that Donnie Yen announced Ip Man 4 is enough to make any martial arts fan excited, but he also made it clear that director Wilson Yip is returning.
While there was a pretty significant gap of nearly five years between the release of Ip Man 2: Legend of the Grandmaster and Ip Man 3, it seems like Donnie Yen is wasting no time in getting Ip Man 4 off the ground.
That seems to be the theory with the very popular martial arts franchise Ip Man at this point, anyway.
