Jackie Chan discloses thrilling details on forthcoming film "Rush Hour 4"
Jackie Chan, star of the popular 1998 film "Rush Hour," has revealed that a fourth installment of the action comedy is in development. The actor, currently promoting his upcoming film "Karate Kid: Legends," mentioned the potential sequel during a recent interview with Screen Rant.

However, Chan was reluctant to provide details about the progress of the project, stating that the script was still being developed and joking that if production dragged on too long, he and co-star Chris Tucker would be "100 years old." No confirmed director or production timeline has been announced at this time.
Delays in the development of "Rush Hour 4" may be due to various factors, including ongoing negotiations with studios andScript revisions. Additionally, concerns over Brett Ratner's potential return to the series due to misconduct allegations may have contributed to the project's slow progression.
As Chan and Tucker await updates on the project's status, fans of the franchise can look forward to at least one more collaboration between the two iconic actors. The exact timeline for production remains unclear, but the parties involved have expressed a desire to move forward with the project.
