RZA of Wu-Tang fame is set to direct Russell Crowe in The Man With The Iron Fist. The Wu-Tang head honcho will also star alongside The Gladiator star when shooting kicks off in December, in Shanghai. Previously Crowe and RZA have worked together, namely on American Gangster and will also star in the forthcoming The Next Three Days. RZA will play a blacksmith, making weapons and as for what ass kicking role Crowe will take, well, RZA doesn’t want to give too much away. He told E!’s Marc Malkin “I won't spoil it for you, but Russell's gonna be the baddest man alive. That man is in fighting shape. That man will knock you out."
This is certainly something different for Russell Crowe, but the real question is, can he do a crane kick?
