Chan in a new role

The 63-year-old Hong Kong action star, known for his martial arts skills, shows a different side. Wang Kaihao reports.

After a long break, Jackie Chan has worked in a Hollywood production. However, this time he avoids the typical "Jackie Chan style", which blends comedy, action and martial arts.

Chan has a serious role in the upcoming thriller The Foreigner, which is co-produced by Los Angeles-based STX Entertainment, Beijing-based Sparkle Roll Media and Wanda Cinemas.
