Jackie Chan Just Visited the Spider-Man Set - And That’s Extremely Good News

It's hard to overstate just how important Jackie Chan is to cinema. If you think he's "just the guy who makes goofy kung fu movies and gets hurt a lot," let me stop you right there. Jackie Chan single-handedly changed the way action is done in movies - not just in Hong Kong, not just in martial arts films, but worldwide.

Before Jackie, fight scenes were usually just two guys pretending to punch each other until one fell down. Then Bruce Lee exploded onto the scene and showed the world what real fighting could look like. His fights were fast, sharp, and devastating - but always designed to make Bruce look invincible.

Jackie took that foundation and turned it into an art form. He didn't care about looking cool - he cared about the flow of the fight. Every punch and kick told a story. His characters weren't gods of war, they were just people - underdogs, chefs, cops, convenience store workers - everyday guys who didn't go looking for fights, but stood up when evil came knocking.

And he didn't just use his fists. Jackie used the entire set: ladders, refrigerators, camera tripods, mop buckets, anything at arm's reach. He showed us that brains, courage, and resourcefulness beat raw power every time.

In other words: Jackie Chan was basically Spider-Man before Spider-Man. Not the costume - the idea. The little guy who steps up, protects the innocent, and goes way further than anyone else would dare, just because it's the right thing to do.

Enter: Spider-Man

So when I heard Jackie Chan had visited the set of the new Spider-Man movie, I felt chills. This isn’t just fun trivia. This is destiny.

Why? Because Jackie’s legendary stunt team is working on the film.

If you’ve seen his movies, you know the faces: the same guys showing up again and again, sometimes as villains, sometimes as friends, sometimes as Jackie’s dad. They weren’t disposable extras - they were the beating heart of his films. When Jackie landed a triple kick that sent some poor guy flying through glass, it was that guy who made it believable, painful, and safe all at once. His stunt team trained with him daily, creating a level of physical storytelling that Hollywood couldn’t touch. And over the years, they’ve spread that gospel worldwide.

Now they’re bringing it to Spider-Man.

What this means for the MCU

This movie is shaping up to be the street-level Spider-Man fans have been begging for. It’s directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi), features Jon Bernthal’s Punisher (the best one we’ve had), and if you ask me, Charlie Cox is definitely pulling an Andrew Garfield - pretending he’s not in it while secretly polishing his Daredevil cowl.

And now? Jackie’s team is in the mix. Jackie himself even visited the set to give his blessing.

That means one thing: the next Spider-Man movie isn’t just going to have good fight scenes - it might have the best fight scenes the MCU has ever seen. Maybe even some of the best fight scenes in movie history.

Because when the grand master of cinematic action gives his stamp of approval and puts his personal team on the job, you know you’re about to watch something legendary.
