Forming a love line with 38-year younger actress, Jackie Chan received criticism from netizens

News has been reported that actor Jackie Chan will form a love line with a 38-year younger actress in his new work.

On the 22nd, many Chinese media outlets reported that Jackie Chan will appear in the sequel of the movie “The Myth: Secret of the Emperor’s Tomb,” titled “The Myth 2,” after 18 years. “The Myth: Secret of the Emperor’s Tomb,” released in 2005, was a popular film featuring Jackie Chan and Kim Hee-sun, which drew attention from both countries.

According to local media reports, the sequel to this movie, “The Myth 2,” has started filming in Xinjiang, China and has changed its title to “Legend.” Like the previous film, Jackie Chan took the lead role, and the female lead will be played by popular Uyghur actress Gulinazha. It has also been reported that EXO’s Chinese member Lay, actors Li Chen and Liu Haoran will appear in the film.

According to the movie introduction, “Legend,” the sequel to “The Myth,” is a love story that transcends time and space, where a wild and fearless princess and a brave general meet in a dream and reunite after a thousand years. Chinese netizens speculate that Gulinazha will play the princess and Jackie Chan will play the general, expressing their discontent. Some Chinese netizens commented, “Isn’t Jackie Chan too old for the role?” “Don’t make this movie,” “If it’s true, it makes me sick,” “Jackie Chan should only participate as an investor and leave the role of the general to other actors.”

“The Myth: Secret of the Emperor’s Tomb” is a fantasy martial arts film directed by Stanley Tong. The story follows an archaeologist named Jack (played by Jackie Chan) who meets a mysterious ancient woman (played by Kim Hee-sun) in his dreams. Jack has a hunch that the woman in his dream is related to the discovery of the missing tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, which archaeologists have been searching for. Jack sets out to find the tomb and solve the mystery of his dream.
