League of Gods (Chinese: 3D封神榜) is a 2016 Hong Kong-Chinese fantasy film directed by Koan Hui, co-produced by Charles Heung and Wilson Yip, based on the 16th-century novel Investiture of the Gods by Xu Zhonglin and starring an ensemble cast of Jet Li, Tony Leung, Fan Bingbing, Louis Koo, Mark Huang, Angelababy, Wen Zhang, Andy On and Jacky Heung.^[3][5] The film was released in China on 29 July 2016.^[1]

Due to the criticism from film critics and audiences with the lack of 3D effects, story and characters, the film was a box-office bomb; eventually, it won the Golden Broom Awards for Worst Picture and nominated for Worst Director. For her role Lan Die in the film, Angelababy also won the Hong Kong Golden Plum Award for Worst Supporting Actress. However, in the positive view, the film was nominated for Best Costume Make-up Design at the 36th Hong Kong Film Awards, but lost to The Monkey King 2.
