Announced back in March 2016 and started filming in July 2017, Dynasty Warriors: The Movie was supposed to land in Asian cinemas in 2019. Due to production issues and COVID-19 delays, the movie is finally confirmed to be airing on 30 April 2021. I can’t confirm which countries are included, but China is definitely included. As the title suggests, this is based on the game franchise from Koei Tecmo.
The story centers around Cao Cao’s crusade against the tyrant Dong Zhuo, up till Lu Bu’s betrayal of Dong Zhuo due to Diao Chan. Of course, staples such as Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei will be around as well. Dynasty Warriors: The Movie boasts Ray Liu (吕良伟) as Yuan Shao, Louis Khoo (古天乐) as Lu Bu, Han Geng (韩庚) as Guan Yu, Justin Cheung (张建声) as Zhang Fei, Tony Yang (杨祐宁) as Liu Bei, and Wang Kai (王凱) as Cao Cao (seen below).
