Jackie Chan recently gave a promising update regarding Rush Hour 4 with Chris Tucker, hinting that the movie is in development. The sequel to the 2007 film Rush Hour 3 is highly anticipated by fans. After much back and forth about the movie's fate, reports have emerged indicating that Lionsgate discussed Rush Hour 4 in a 2024 meeting.
Jackie Chan recently spoke to ScreenRant at a red carpet event for his upcoming movie, Karate Kids: Legends, where he talked about the much-anticipated Rush Hour 4.
While Chan urged the makers of Rush Hour 4 to accelerate development on the movie, he also admitted that he was unaware of its current status, saying, 'I don't know. Ask the director, ask the studio, ask the writer. Hurry up! Otherwise, Chris Tucker and me [will be] 100 years old. We'll be old men doing Rush Hour.'
The interviewer further asked him if he wanted to do the project. To this, Chan responded affirmatively and shared the list of movies he would like to do. He said, 'Yes! And I want to do [another] Shanghai Knights, Shanghai Dawn. Shangai Noon, Shanghai Knights, and Shanghai Dawn. The script is still going on. I want to do a Rush Hour 4.'
In 2023, Tucker, who plays James Carter in the franchise, also teased the project and expressed his excitement to work with Chan. He asserted, ''Rush Hour 4,' that's something I definitely will probably drop in there because I love working with Jackie, but I've got some new stuff that I think you're really gonna like. I'm excited about it.' (via Variety)
All three Rush Hour movies were directed by Brett Ratner, but his return to the director's seat for the potential fourth part is uncertain. Ratner is reported to have stepped away from Hollywood in 2018 following a series of misconduct allegations.
