Ip Man 5 (2025) is the unexpected and emotional next chapter in the legendary martial arts saga starring Donnie Yen as the iconic Wing Chun master, Ip Man. While the previous installment offered a powerful and seemingly final conclusion to his journey, this new film unveils an untold story—one that explores the last years of Ip Man’s life as he continues to pass on his martial legacy while facing unprecedented challenges.

Set in late 1960s Hong Kong, a time of social upheaval and cultural transition, Ip Man finds himself confronting a new kind of threat: those who exploit martial arts for fame and commercial gain. Meanwhile, his relationship with his most famous student, Bruce Lee, begins to strain as the student’s rising stardom starts to eclipse the legacy of the master.

Once more, Ip Man must rise—not only to defend the honor of Wing Chun, but to uphold the spirit of traditional martial arts in a world rapidly modernizing. The battles he faces are not just physical, but also internal, as an aging master struggles to find his place in a changing world.

With precise choreography, calm intensity, and deeply rooted martial philosophy, Ip Man 5 promises to deliver a gripping, emotional, and fitting farewell to the legendary figure of Ip Man. The film is set to premiere in 2025.
