Finally released is the new and final trailer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II - The Green Destiny."

Also, the final poster with topic Return for Love has also been released.

The Weinstein Company declared that they started the production of the movie sequel in March 2014, just about 16 years after the original Ang Lee film. What makes this film different is that Lee will not be returning to direct it.

As per Deadline, Yuen Wo Ping, a fight choreographer, will be directing the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II - The Green Destiny." Yuen has already choreographed movies such "Kill Bill," "The Matrix," the original "Drunken Master" with Jackie Chan and Keanu Reeve's "Man of Tai Chi."

The "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II" is based on the last novel in the Crane Iron Pentalogy titled "Iron Knight, Silver Vase." Ang Lee's film acquired components from the entire series, which had never been with an English translation. As of this point, it is hard to tell what exactly is the plot.

The upcoming sequel is an epic story about young love, lost love, a mythical sword and a chance for deliverance, set against awesome action in a martial arts combat between good and evil, which will conclude the outcome of the Martial World.

Aside from its director Yuen Wo Ping, the upcoming movie sequel will feature Donnie Yen and Michelle Yeoh.

Yeoh will play as China's most stoic warrior in 18th century Yu Shu Lein, while Yen will play as Silent Wolf. Others casts include Harry Shum Jr., Jason Scott Lee, Roger Yuan, Eugenia Yuan, Juju Chan and Chris Pang.

The original movie debuted 16 years ago and became a huge international hit, grossing US$210 million in that year. It became the largest grossing foreign language film in the Northern American history.

It was also nominated for six other Academy Awards including Best Picture, and won various awards including the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

The movie is expected to premiere in Chinese cinemas on Feb. 19, while on Feb. 26, the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II - The Green Destiny" will hit Netflix and U.S. theatres.
