Jackie Chan Discusses Rush Hour 4 Development

Jackie Chan has confirmed that Rush Hour 4 is in development, though there is no official start date and production details remain unclear. The script is still being worked on, and both Chan and Chris Tucker have expressed strong interest in returning. Chan emphasized the need to move quickly, humorously warning that he and Tucker could be '100 years old' before filming begins. The project has reportedly been pitched to various studios, but the director remains unconfirmed as Brett Ratner is unlikely to return due to past misconduct allegations. Chan also attributed Rush Hour 3's weaker critical reception to its high budget and lengthy production. Fans remain hopeful for the sequel, while Chan has also expressed interest in reviving the Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights franchises.
