Expressing his commitment, Yen stated, “I think both the fans, as well as the studio, want this to happen, and we’ll see.” He also acknowledged his earnestness in the discussions, aiming to ensure a project that lives up to the high standards set by the franchise.

Taking on such a significant role is not something Yen approaches lightly. He reflected on the gravity of the responsibility, mentioning, “But at the same time, I hold responsibility as well as a pressure that I don’t want to ruin the franchise. I try to do my best to bring something fresh to the franchise itself.”

For Yen, the essence of the project lies in meeting audience expectations. “I don’t want to bring down the expectations for the fans. I try to do my best, like always,” he articulated, highlighting his dedication to the longtime followers of the series.

This venture wouldn’t mark Yen’s inaugural foray into directing. Currently directing The Prosecutor, his journey as a director traces back to 1997 with the film Legend of the Wolf. As developments unfold regarding this anticipated spin-off, fans will be eager for updates on Yen’s potential involvement.
