Jackie Chan jokes about making Rush Hour 4 at 100, teases return to Shanghai Noon sequel
Jackie Chan recently offered a humorous update on the long-anticipated Rush Hour 4, joking that both he and co-star Chris Tucker might be past their prime by the time it finally happens. Speaking with ScreenRant, Chan quipped, 'Hurry up! Otherwise, Chris Tucker and me [will be] 100 years old. We'll be old men doing Rush Hour,' when asked about the sequel's status. Though no official production timeline has been announced, Chan emphasized he's still eager to return to the franchise, which launched in 1998 and earned over $850 million globally across three films. The last entry, Rush Hour 3, hit theaters in 2007. Chan previously shared in 2017 that he and Tucker had agreed on a script, but progress has since stalled. Alongside Rush Hour, Chan is also eyeing a return to another early-2000s buddy comedy series. He confirmed that a third installment in the Shanghai Noon franchise, titled Shanghai Dawn, remains in development. 'The script is still going on,' Chan told ScreenRant. Back in 2016, Chan and Owen Wilson were reportedly working on the sequel with MGM. Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) was attached to direct, based on a story by Smallville creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, with a script by Theodore Riley and Aaron Buchsbaum. As Chan revisits some of his most iconic roles, fans of both franchises are hopeful that long-awaited sequels will eventually move forward. While timelines remain uncertain, Chan's playful optimism and continued enthusiasm suggest audiences may not have seen the last of these beloved duos.
