Hong Kong actor Aaron Kwok is rumored to be replacing actor Donnie Yen as the title character in the sequel to the Chinese New Year blockbuster, "The Monkey King".

Kwok's manager has confirmed the actor's involvement in the "Monkey King" sequel, the actor's role will be officially announced by the film's production company.

But Kwok has posted several pictures of himself as the Monkey King on his Sina Weibo microblog.

Yen is reportedly signed on to too many projects to take up the role for a second time--one of those being the next Ip Man movie.

Kwok played the Bull Demon King in the first Monkey King movie, which grossed over 167 million U.S. dollars earlier this year to become the third-highest grossing movie of all time on the mainland.
