Finally, emerging from the mists is the first trailer for Netfilx’s sequel film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny (formerly “The Green Legend”). The film comes from director and renowned martial arts choreographer Yuen Wo-Ping (Tai Chi Master, Drunken Master, so many more just educate yourself), and stars the forever awesome Michelle Yeoh, reprising her role from the original film as Yu Shu-Lien, as well as Donnie Yen (who will also be appearing in Rogue One) as Silent Wolf.

There are a few questionable things regarding the music choice for the trailer as well as the English (is it dubbed? Please Lord no … or is it just in English, because Netflix is afraid people won’t read subtitles?), but the actual fight scenes and the styling look pretty masterful. Check it out below:


Ultimately, in Yuen Wo-Ping I trust. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny will premiere on Netflix and in IMAX theaters Friday, February 26, 2016.

Here’s the film's synopsis and more information:
