Jon Foo cast in Jackie Chan role for Rush Hour TV show

Remember the news that CBS were making a TV series based on the massively popular movie franchise Rush Hour? Well, now we’ve got the first big casting news: Jon Foo, most known for his work on Tekken and Universal Soldier: Regeneration (not the most critically well-received films ever, we know), will step into Jackie Chan’s shoes and play Detective Lee. Like Chan before him, Foo – who is British – has lots of experience in stunt work and martial arts. The role of Carter, Chris Tucker’s role, has not yet been cast – but do you think Foo may stand alongside Chan’s original character?

Rush Hour does not currently have an air date.
