Are you ready for the crazy stuffs? These pictures honestly made me go awe in front of all the leading actors:
Jet Li as Jiang Ziya (Qi Tai Gong). He is a military strategist who helped the Wu of Zhou King overthrow the Shang Dynasty.
Louis Koo as Mahamayuri (Peacock Prince)
Huang Xiaoming as Er Lang Sheng (my favourite character in Journey of the West!).
Angelababy as Mermaid (obviously, a new character.. she is pretty! But something is off with the character? :P)
Tony Leung as King Zhou of Shang, the last king of the Shang Dynasty.
Fan Bingbing as Da Ji
Wen Zhang as Nezha.. wait what?
Jacky Leung as Lei Zhenzi

Thanks!
If the intent was to make Jet to look so much older than he looks in reality they achieved success.
This project looks not too appealing to me at all. It kind sounds messy.
I hope the trailers give me good vibes when they come up.

xD Agree, I really didn’t recognize and double checked it is indeed him
The casting is definitely a plus and the special effects look on point. I doubt the story would be interesting (even in the trailer, there wasn’t much interaction between the roles). I would probably watch it though ^^

A Chinese Myth Film without Sun Wukong? LOL
But damn, the casting is crazy. So many mega stars.

I know right? Can you believe this? Do they not want to compete with the other dozen Journey of West adaptations of the (monkey) year? XD
Yep, a movie 100% sponsored by Huayi

I think so. Look up 2006 or 2007 The Legend and the Hero. I tried watching, but to me, it was very slow. I also didn’t like the stuffy Emperor (actor Ma Jing Tao). I stopped very quickly. Leo Wu Lei of Nirvana_IF may have been child Nezha. Huge cast.
