Rush Hour 4 has officially been greenlit, with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker set to return more than two decades after Rush Hour 3 hit theaters in 2007. But what makes this comeback truly unprecedented is how it happened: President Donald Trump personally pushed for the production, according to multiple reports from CNBC and Variety.
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker Return for Rush Hour 4
Now, Paramount has secured funding and struck an unusual distribution deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, which previously owned the franchise under its New Line banner. Paramount will collect a flat distribution fee to release the film theatrically, while Warner Bros. will receive a percentage of box office revenues.

The sequel faces significant challenges. Chan is now 71 and has scaled back U.S. studio work, while Tucker hasn't headlined a major film since 2007. Additionally, comedies have largely struggled at the box office in recent years, a far cry from the theatrical landscape that made the original trilogy so successful.
For Paramount, which was recently acquired by Skydance, Rush Hour 4 helps fill its expanded slate. The studio aims to increase from eight annual releases to 15 by 2026.
