“Wu Kong” Features Eddie Peng as Monkey King

Wu Kong Eddie Peng

 

The most recent posters for the upcoming summer blockbuster Wu Kong 悟空传 are stylistically slick, reinventing a much darker and broodier Journey into the West. It certainly has a contemporary appeal, featuring a Monkey King with less facial hair and more Eddie Peng. I’m taking an immediate liking to this now, whoever’s behind these promos are smart. 


Eddie Peng as Wu Kong, a prideful and unruly monkey from Hua Guo Shan who bears a grudge against against the heavens for ruining his home. He sets out on a journey and meets the people that he is fated to meet but a world of pain awaits and pushes him to the brink of despair.

Wu Kong Shawn Yue

 

Shawn Yue as Yang Jian, a man destined to become Wu Kong’s nemesis. Yang Jian is a powerful warrior in Chinese mythology, righteous yet obstinate. I love that he literally has a puppy for a sidekick.
