New Wong Fei Hung is Eddie Peng



Wong Fei Hung (黃飛鴻) is getting a new film series. Called "Rise Of The Legend (黃飛鴻之英雄有夢)" and stars Eddie Peng (彭于晏). Jing Boran and Wang Luodan round out the cast. Angelababy was originally attached to star as the female lead but is no longer attached to the project. I was just thinking that the Eddie and Angelababy pairing has happened too often. As has Angelbaby and Mark Chao. Don't get me wrong, given the choice between Angelababy and Luodan, I'd pick Angelababy. But the movie isn't even out and Luodan gets a chance to blow us away.



I for one am very glad Eddie Peng got the role for such an iconic character. Eddie's been a favorite of mine since the mid-2000s. We'll see if he can convert his career into a long one.
