After Na Tra 2 , will Sun Wukong return with Na Tra in the sequel? What surprises will the new movie bring to fans?
After setting a record of over 1 billion USD in revenue in just 10 days of release , Na Tra: Ma Dong Nao Hai not only affirmed the position of Chinese cinema but also opened a strong commercialization strategy. But what is causing a stir among the audience is, why did Sun Wukong's Ruyi stick "fall" into this episode? Will Sun Wukong appear in Na Tra 3?
Nezha and Sun Wukong: Two legends and interesting encounters
Nezha and Sun Wukong – two legendary characters of Chinese mythology. Although originating from two different stories – The Legend of Fengshen and Journey to the West – Nezha and Sun Wukong have appeared together on screen.
The most famous film version is in Journey to the West (1986), where Nezha encountered Sun Wukong when Heaven sent him down to confront the Monkey King. This battle is one of the classic confrontations between two characters possessing divine powers.
Nezha and Sun Wukong can be considered two sides of the same coin – both opposites and similar. With their wild yet chivalrous personalities, both of them defy their predestined fates and refuse to submit to divine power. Whether they are rivals or allies, the encounter between these two characters makes the audience look forward to breathtaking action scenes and meaningful stories.
Successful commercialization from two characters
The commercialization of the image of Na Tra is considered a similar strategy to the success of the video game Black Myth: Wukong , which exploited the character of Sun Wukong and spread strongly throughout Asia. This shows the great potential of combining traditional culture and modern entertainment industry.
The resounding success of Nezha: The Demon King and Sun Wukong has prompted the production team to launch a series of related products, from blind boxes, personal items to related publications, all of which have been enthusiastically received by young people. The character even appeared in advertisements, becoming a brand ambassador for many products aimed at young people.
What is the significance of the appearance of the Sea-Ding Shen Zhen (Ruyi Scepter) in Na Tra part 2?
Through the two parts Na Tra: Ma Dong Giang The (2019) and Na Tra: Ma Dong Nao Hai (2025) , many rumors say that Sun Wukong may appear in Na Tra 3. The reason is that in Na Tra: Ma Dong Nao Hai, the image of Dinh Hai Than Cham - Sun Wukong's weapon, suddenly appears, making fans curious about the connection between these two characters.
The Sea-Dwelling Divine Needle is a precious treasure of the aquarium, with the function of regulating sea levels, helping to maintain the stability of the ocean. In Na Tra: Ma Dong Giang The, this is also the giant pillar used to chain Ngao Quang - Ngao Binh's father for thousands of years with the task of guarding the prison deep under the sea.
The audience joked that Ngao Quang "tricked" Sun Wukong into taking away the Sea God Needle so he could escape from prison, and that was the reason why the Dragon King did not appear when Sun Wukong was messing around Heaven with his Ruyi Jingu stick.
Although there has been no official confirmation, the appearance of Sun Wukong in Na Tra 3 is still a topic of interest and hot discussion among the audience. Many fans expect the appearance of Sun Wukong in the new part of the series to create dramatic confrontations, but it is also possible that the two characters will become teammates, facing stronger forces together.
Is this the producer's intention when letting the Ruyi Jingu stick appear in Na Tra 2 ? If Sun Wukong really appears, this will definitely be a masterpiece worth looking forward to!
