Legendary action star Jackie Chan, who is reprising his role for Karate Kid: Legends, has finally opened up about the long-gestating Rush Hour 4, for which he assured he is still interested in reuniting with co-star Chris Tucker, more than 25 years after the original and 18 years since the third edition.
He told in an interview, “I don’t know. Ask the director, studio, and writer. Hurry up! Otherwise, Chris Tucker and me [will be] 100 years old doing Rush Hour.”
In 2017, Chan said he and Tucker had finally agreed on a script for Rush Hour 4, as per reports.
The pair previously starred together in director Brett Ratner’s Rush Hour in 1998, Rush Hour 2 in 2001, and Rush Hour 3 in 2007, which earned a combined $850 million worldwide.

Additionally, Chan said, “I want to do” a follow-up to Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights, 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.
Rush Hour focusses on two cops from different cultures, who cannot stand each other, but team up to save the kidnapped 11-year-old daughter of a diplomat. With time running out, they must nab the criminals and save the girl.
Talking about Karate Kid: Legends, Chan has returned to the Karate Kid franchise after a 15-year hiatus, reprising his iconic role as Mr Han in the new instalment.
Unlike previous chapters set in China, this sequel takes place in the vibrant streets of New York City, where Mr Han’s path crosses once again with Daniel LaRusso, portrayed once more by Ralph Macchio.
