Nearly two decades after the last installment, ‘Rush Hour 4’ is officially in development, according to Paramount.

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are set to return as Chief Inspector Lee and Detective James Carter, bringing the iconic buddy-cop franchise back to life.

The ‘Rush Hour’ series began in 1998, with sequels in 2001 and 2007, mixing martial arts, comedy, and thrilling action.

The first three films grossed over $850 million worldwide, and Chan and Tucker’s iconic chemistry made the franchise a fan favorite, leaving audiences excited for the duo’s next adventure.

Franchise director Brett Ratner, who helmed the first three films, will return to direct. Chan has expressed urgency, joking that if the sequel isn’t made soon, “Tucker and me will be 100 years old.”

Tucker teased the film would be “on a whole other level,” promising a fresh dynamic.

No release date, and plot details have been announced yet. Paramount will distribute the film worldwide, aiming for a global theatrical release.

Fans are already excited, eagerly anticipating the return of Chan and Tucker, the iconic duo whose chemistry defined the beloved trilogy.
