Russel crowe set for kung fu film

Russel crowe has abandoned his gladiator moves for kung fu!

Crowe is reported to have signed up to star alongside hip-hop star RZA in a kung-fu flick.

After smiting Roman warriors in Gladiator and medieval English wrong 'uns in Robin Hood, the 46-year-old star is set to appear in The Man With The Iron Fist.

RZA, who also directs, will play a village blacksmith/armourer in feudal China while Crowe's role is shrouded in secrecy.

And if it’s gonna be as bad as robin hood, it might be a good thing!
