While his mother is against violence and Kung Fu, <strong>young Li finds purpose in training a boxer on the brink of retirement<\/strong> named Victor, who will learn the martial art and step back into the ring.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/jackie-chan-3-1024x681-1-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-243808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/jackie-chan-3-1024x681-1-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/jackie-chan-3-1024x681-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/jackie-chan-3-1024x681-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/jackie-chan-3-1024x681-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/jackie-chan-3-1024x681-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/jackie-chan-3-1024x681-1.jpg 1083w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don&#8217;t have more information about the production yet, but all signs point to <strong>a planned release in 2024<\/strong>.
