Daniel Wu recently expressed his elation about returning to Hong Kong movies through the upcoming “Cold War” prequels.
The actor, who shared a screenshot of an article from Screen Daily about the project on social media, posted, “So excited for my return to Hong Kong cinema! Working on these two prequels and speaking Cantonese dialogue again felt like a homecoming.”
“As I have said before, I owe everything I’ve learned as an actor to Hong Kong films and it felt great to work in the city I love so much,” he added.
The two prequels, “Cold War 1994” and “Cold War 1995” will take place in the years leading up to Hong Kong’s handover to China, according to Longman Leung, who helmed the previous two films from the franchise.
The films mark Daniel’s first Hong Kong projects since the COVID-19 pandemic. The actor had been busy focusing on his Hollywood career for the past few years, starring in films and TV series including “Into the Badlands” and “American Born Chinese”.
