Legendary Monkey King actor Dicky Cheung returns to star in LEGO's 'Monkie Kid'
Monkey King fans rejoice!
A new series based on the ancient tale will be airing in Southeast Asia soon. And the best part?
Legendary actor and singer Dicky Cheung, who starred in the 1996 Hong Kong television series Journey to the West which many of us grew up with, will be starring in the Mandarin dub of LEGO's latest series Monkie Kid.
Talk about recruiting the perfect person for the role!
Comprising of a TV series and mini-movie, LEGO's Monkie Kid is set to premier in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan in late 2020.
This will be Cheung's first time starring as a voice talent for LEGO. He will also be performing the animation's theme song.
“Through Monkie Kid, we wanted to create a world where the LEGO play experience is brought to life while facilitating a greater appreciation of the Chinese culture and values among our audiences," Rohan Mathur, The LEGO Group's Marketing Director for Southeast Asia, said.
"With Dicky’s experience in playing the legendary role of Monkey King, we hope the depth and dimension he brings to the character of Monkie Kid will captivate viewers from all generations in Singapore and Malaysia, while empowering children with the important values of bravery, optimism, and resilience."
Monkie Kid is LEGO's take on the more than 500-year old story of the Monkey King.
The series follows the titular character Monkie Kid on a journey as he discovers the Monkey King's legendary staff and begins his quest to stop the Demon Bull King and his army of Bull clones from taking over the city.
