Each film upgraded the animation style— Green Snake had the gritty, surreal Shura City, while Afloat returned to lush Song dynasty aesthetics. A fourth film might blend cyberpunk elements with traditional watercolor (a "reincarnated Xu Xian in modern Shanghai" premise).
The abbot Fahai was made more complex in Afloat . A fourth installment could push beyond the classic legend into "what happens when the Buddhist order falls?" – perhaps forcing Blanca to protect Xu Xian from heaven’s judgment, not just a mortal monk.
Vertigo (the snake sister) was the protagonist of Green Snake . After being trapped in the修罗 realm for centuries, a fourth film might explore her finally being freed and reconciling with a reincarnated Blanca—or dealing with the loss of her sister choosing humanity again.
Here’s why a potential fourth film is interesting:
This is an interesting angle! The White Snake animated films (from Light Chaser Animation) have built a rich, tragic mythology. If you’re referring to (which hasn’t been officially announced yet, following White Snake (2019), Green Snake (2021), and White Snake: Afloat / 浮生 (2024)), the speculation is already fascinating.
The first film ended with Xu Xian’s reincarnation, Ah Xuan, dying in Bladestorm. The third film ( Afloat ) is a prequel showing their first meeting in Hangzhou. A fourth film could jump forward to the modern era—or complete the cycle where Blanca finally finds Xu Xian reborn in the present day, breaking the "monster vs. human" curse.
: Someone suggested White Snake 4 should be a musical road movie —Blanca and a modern Xu Xian travel across China to break a curse, with Vertigo as a grumpy third wheel. That kind of genre shift (tragic romance → bittersweet comedy-drama) would be bold.
