Back in 2012, Brett Ratner said that he wasn’t too happy with Rush Hour 3, hinting that he would like to bring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan back, but also introduce two new characters that the story would center on.
It isn’t known if this is still the approach Brett Ratner is taking with Rush Hour 4, but if it does move forward, hopefully we’ll have a better idea of whether or not Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan will be back, and in what capacity.
It’s been almost 10 years since Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) and Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) last joined forces in 2007’s Rush Hour 3.
Six years later, Rush Hour 3 hit theaters, bringing back both Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan once again as Carter and Lee, but it earned just $140 million domestically and $258 million worldwide, from a bloated $140 million budget.
