KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 16 — Director Jack Neo previously said he might not continue the Ah Boys to Men franchise after the third installment. However, seeing the success of Ah Boys to Men 3: Frogmen, it’s a safe bet that the director may be doing more sequels.

The director recently assured fans, according to The New Paper, that not only will there be an Ah Boys to Men 4, there will also be a fifth instalment following it too.

When asked about the plot and characters, however, Jack replied, “We want it to be a surprise.”

Of original cast Tosh Zhang, Joshua Tan, Wang Weiliang and Maxi Lim, who are all signed under the director’s JM Artiste Network, he said, “They have a lot of fans, so we are likely to preserve them and add a few new roles.”

Actor Wesley Wong, the 28-year-old son of Hong Kong stars Melvin Wong and Angie Chiu, is likely to return to the franchise too. Wesley was introduced in this year’s Frogmen as Hei Long (Black Dragon).

The first Ah Boys to Men was released in 2012, followed by a sequel called “Ah Boys to Men 2” in 2013.

Jack Neo’s 2016 movie — not from his Ah Boys franchise – is Long Long Time Ago, which will open in cinemas on February 4 in Singapore and February 8 in Malaysia. — Cinema Online
