With Jackie Chan reprising one of his beloved roles for Karate Kid: Legends, the actor is ready to revisit more franchises.
The honorary Oscar winner recently commented on the long-gestating Rush Hour 4, for which he assured he’s still interested in reuniting with co-star Chris Tucker, more than 25 years after the original.
“I don’t know. Ask the director, ask the studio, ask the writer,” he told ScreenRant. “Hurry up! Otherwise, Chris Tucker and me [will be] 100 years old. We’ll be old men doing Rush Hour.”
In 2017, Chan said he and Tucker had finally agreed on a script for Rush Hour 4. The pair previously starred together in director Brett Ratner’s Rush Hour (1998), Rush Hour 2 (2001) and Rush Hour 3 (2007), which earned a combined $850 million worldwide.
Additionally, Chan said “I want to do” a followup to Shanghai Noon (2000) and Shanghai Knights (2003), which will be titled Shanghai Dawn. “The script is still going on,” he said.
Back in 2016, Chan and Owen Wilson were developing another Shanghai Noon sequel for MGM with Jared Hess attached to direct, from a story by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough and a script by Theodore Riley and Aaron Buchsbaum.
