The cast and crew are already shooting the film in New Zealand, starring Michelle Yeoh. She reprised her role as Yu Shu Lien. Donnie Yen will play the role of Silent Wolf. Director Ang Lee is not going to be back for the sequel. Yuen Wo Ping will direct the sequel. He's the one responsible for the fight scenes in the original Crouching Tiger movie.

The title for the sequel is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend." It will have the same "love story" theme that the original movie have - a forbidden love, mission chosen over love, and of course, the Green Destiny sword.

Ted Sarandos of Netflix said in a statement, "Fans will have unprecedented choice in how they enjoy an amazing and memorable film that combines intense action and incredible beauty. We are honored to be working with Harvey Weinstein and a world-class team of creators to bring this epic story to people all over the world and to partner with IMAX, a brand that represents the highest quality of immersive entertainment, in the distribution of this film."
