Rush Hour star Jackie Chan has confirmed that he’s in talks for Rush Hour 4.<\/p>\n

Appearing at the Red Sea International Film Festival, as reported by Variety, the 68-year-old martial arts star confirmed that Rush Hour 4 is underway.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re talking about Rush Hour 4 right now,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The upcoming Rush Hour sequel has reportedly been in the works for a while with Chris Tucker revealing back in 2018 that a fourth installment was on the cards.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s happening,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is gonna be the rush of all rushes. Jackie is ready and we want to do this so that people don’t ever forget it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Around the same time, director Brett Ratner apparently claimed he would be making the film, despite producers stating otherwise.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBrett has been walking around town telling people he’s going to direct a Rush Hour movie because it’s his only way back in,” a studio executive told THR. \u201cHe’s trying to make believe he’s employable.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, several months prior to this, Ratner was accused of sexual misconduct and was forced to exit the Wonder Woman franchise.<\/p>\n

Rush Hour producer Arthur Sarkissian confirmed that Ratner was \u201cnot attached\u201d and said: \u201cAll I’m interested in is to make the best movie possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who will take on Rush Hour 4 remains to be seen. However, Chan still fondly remembers the success of the original movie. \u201cI got a phone call. Brett Ratner and Chris Tucker call me from New York,\u201d he said. \u201cThey’re crazy. We were $70 million in the first weekend. For me, I don’t know how to count.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rush Hour made a total of $244 million at the box office and saw both Chan and Tucker return for two sequels, Rush Hour 2 and Rush Hour 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many good action stars,\u201d said Chan. \u201cMy action is better than some other people, not because I’m really good, but because I write a script suitable for myself. I can use the camera angle to make my action better. At night, I go home and edit myself and use those kinds of things to make my action better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite his apparent return in Rush Hour 4, Chan also promised to make more romance movies and fewer action movies.<\/p>\n
