It sees the rise of the legendary fighter, played by the charismatic Donnie Yen, whos being taught by three Wing Chun masters. Yen attended the China premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and got to share how it feels being a part of the Star Wars franchise in a brief interview. This the prequel to two successful IP Man movies. Yen will also be in Disney's Star Wars anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which is scheduled to be released near the end of 2016 in December. Ip Man 3 won't be the only film American audiences will see Donnie Yen in next year. Maybe the right combination of elements didn't come together until now to tell his story.' 'When you learn more about Ip Man, you realize that he had a really incredible life, and a huge influence on the martial arts world, in his own right. 'I think people only knew him as the teacher of Bruce Lee, so you only saw the character in films about him, kind of a supporting character,' Yen said in an interview. He is a martial art master who has been widely overlooked, which is one of the reasons why Donnie Yen agreed to portray him in the Ip Man series. Fighting throat cancer, he died in December of 1972, only seven months before Bruce Lee died.

Ip Man, who was also known as Yip Man, was a Chinese martial artist who perfected the art of Wing Chun, and was a master teacher of the self-defense Chinese martial art.
