Jackie Chan states that the's been approached to star in Expendables 4, Rush Hour 4, and Drunken Master 3.

Jackie Chan is a hot commodity these days. He’s one of my favorite martial arts actors and has been one for quite some time.  Doing all his own stunts and going all out he never seems to mail it in or take on a role simply for the paycheck.

This news only further confirms those thoughts with Chan being suspicious of participating in Expendables 2 or Expendables 3, his reasoning being that his role would be nothing more than a glorified cameo.

His commitment to wait for a good script before signing onto a sequel and knowing when to say when for certain movies is a lost virtue in Hollywood these days.

“Sly (Stallone) wants me for ‘Expendables 4,’” he told Den of Geek earlier this week. “I said, ‘okay.’ Because they already asked me to be in two and three, but I refused. Well, I didn’t refuse, but I said, ‘Sly, can’t we just do you and me? Not just a bunch of people and me only coming out for five minutes.’”

“So if I’m in ‘Expendables 4,’ I want it to be me and him,” he said. “Then it might be interesting. Otherwise you just come out for five minutes.”

Chan also said that he’s waiting for the right scripts before agreeing to return to the “Rush Hour” and “Drunken Master” franchises.

While talking about the possibility of “Drunken Master 3,” which he said he basically already shot with 2010’s rebooted “The Karate Kid,” he said he won’t settle for a “rubbish script” for “Rush Hour 4.”

“I believe after ‘Drunken Master 2′ stop; better than we make no more,” he told audiences this week during a Q&A in London promoting his film “Chinese Zodiac.” “Unless we have a better script. Just like lately they want to make ‘Rush Hour 4.’ I said ‘No, show me the script first. I don’t need another ‘Rush Hour 4.’ You need ‘Rush Hour 4.’ Show me the script.’ I don’t want to do a rubbish script just because they want to make the movie.”

Bravo Jackie Chan, I think I’ll go watch Drunken Master on DVD this weekend.
