Ziyi shot to international fame with her role in the hit 2000 movie but she was left battered and bruised after shooting its hard-hitting combat scenes.
She has just wrapped filming on new martial arts movie The Grandmaster, but the lengthy three-year shoot has convinced Ziyi that her days as a deadly onscreen fighter are over.
She tells Hello!, "I don't believe there's another role that can surpass this. And I've had so many injuries from a long time ago during Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon when I injured my neck. Those old injuries really bother me and after three years of this one, my body cannot take it any more. So I think this is a pretty good finale."
Hopefully she can break out into doing a role that isn't martial art related but sadly Hollywood is racist
Not necessarily. Rain is staring in a movie with Bruce Willis and John Cusack (not related to martial arts at all) and has been offered more roles beyond that.
I think she can do it, its just a matter of her wanting to or not.

Yes although whenever there's an film with Asian influences, Keiana Reeves is always the main guy.

The live-action Mulan actually exists already... Back in 2009 in fact...
I hope for more "Memoirs of a Geisha" type films (that aren't so ethnically influenced) from her! She really is extremely talented!

I thought it was on hold due to financing issues.
