Jet Li is back doing what he does best in the trailer for the new Hong Kong movie, Blades of the Guardians.
Legendary Hong Kong filmmaker and action choreographer Yuen Woo-ping (In the Line of Duty 4, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II) is putting finishing touches on Blades of the Guardians, a live-action adaptation of the Chinese comic book of the same name.
This wuxia actioner is headlined by Wu Jing (Wolf Warrior 2) and Nicolas Tse (Customs Frontline) with an all-star supporting cast that includes Yu Rongguang (New Police Story), Tony Leung Ka-fai (The Shadow’s Edge), Max Zhang (Wolf Pack), Kara Hui (Sakra) and – last, but not least – Jet Li (League of Gods), in his first film appearance since 2020’s Mulan.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
