Donnie Yen Squares Up In New Image From His 2025 Action Thriller The Prosecutor

A new image from The Prosecutor sees Ip Man and John Wick star Donnie Yen squaring up to fight in his newly-directed action thriller. Yen's action movie sees him take on the role of a police officer-turned-prosecutor who is faced with a case where a man pleads guilty to drug charges he's actually innocent of. Determined to uncover the truth, he finds himself pitted against a variety of villains, who he faces with his unmatched martial arts skills. The film is set for release in North America on January 12, 2025.

Now, ScreenRant presents a new look at The Prosecutor ahead of its 2025 release, showing Yen squaring up as he prepares for the battles ahead. The image shows him wearing boxing gloves in front of a punching bag, clearly training for the mission he's about to embark upon. He's also dressed in a formal outfit, signifying the duality of his important legal role, alongside what he's really willing to do for the sake of justice. Check out the new image below:

How The Prosecutor Will Be An Exciting Addition To Donnie Yen's Film Career

The Movie Also Sees Him In A Director Role

Yen's career has been on an upward trajectory in recent years, from joining the cast of John Wick: Chapter 4 and Disney's live-action Mulan, to directing 2023's Sakra, a first for the action star since 2004. His latest film sees him in an action capacity once again, teasing visually stunning choreography and impressive skills as he seeks justice for a man falsely accused. The action seen in both the trailer for the film, alongside the image, shows the determination of his character and what he's willing to do for what's right.

The star's latest action hero reflects many of his previous, heroic roles throughout his career, from the 1995 TV show Fist of Fury, to his directorial debut, Legend of the Wolf, in 1997. His consistency as an actor is reflected in The Prosecutor, where Yen's martial arts skills allow him to take down groups of villains that far outnumber him. The latest image is just a small taste of what the movie has to offer, showcasing a moment of preparation for the main character as his quest for justice begins.

The Prosecutor Promises Justice Through Its Action

The Perfect Follow-Up After Yen's John Wick Role

With The Prosecutor coming out early next year, it won't be long until Yen shows off his action hero skills once more on the big screen. The image evokes a sense of how complex his character will be, juggling his own version of vigilante justice in service of a system that likely doesn't want him to go about his investigation in that way. Since there's still the layer of intrigue regarding what his fight will entail, the image is the perfect way to emphasize just how much action to expect in the movie.
