"Jackie Chan has revealed that he has signed up for The Expendables 3. The martial arts specialist said that he was originally lined up for the second instalment of Sylvester Stallone&amp;#039;s action series, but has now joined the upcoming third film.   &amp;quot;Sly had invited me to be in Expendables 2 but I was too busy filming Chinese Zodiac and couldn&amp;#039;t make a commitment to the film,&amp;quot; Chan said at a Kuala Lumpur press conference promoting his new film. &amp;quot;But he did extend his invitation to the third movie, which I agreed on the condition that I will be appearing as more than just a minor role with a few scenes.&amp;quot; The Expendables 2 starred Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li and Chuck Norris among others, earning $53 million at the US box office. Chan also revealed that he may reunite with Rush Hour co-star Chris Tucker on a new buddy comedy titled Skip Tracer. He said: &amp;quot;The script is currently viewed by Chris Tucker. Personally, I feel that if he were to pick it up, it would be better if we turned it into Rush Hour 4 but I do think that three movies for the franchise is a perfect ending. It would be better to start a new buddy movie with someone new.&amp;quot; Rush Hour 4 was previously reported to be moving ahead with Chan and Tucker back in July.
