The Legend Of The Fist: The Return Of Chen Zhen is an upcoming martial arts flick from director Andrew Lau,(A Man Called Hero) starring Donnie Yen(Ip Man). The film is a continuation of Donnie Yen's Fist Of Fury TV series. He plays Chen Zhen, a role made famous by Bruce Lee in Fists Of Fury. The Chen Zhen Character was also portrayed by Jet Li in the classic Fist of Legend.
The story takes place several years after Chen Zhen was apparently killed, having avenged his master, who was murdered by the Japanese . He returns in disguise 7 years later and infiltrates the local mob in Shanghai, which has joined together with the Japanese.

The "superhero" aspect of the film is a new twist on the Chen Zhen character. His costume is very reminiscent of Kato, from The Green Hornet, who Bruce Lee portrayed in the Green Hornet TV series. The film will be released in Hong Kong on October 1, 2010. Peep the trailer below:
