Jackie Chan arrives in Baku for Armour of God 4 filming

Legendary actor Jackie Chan is in Azerbaijan’s capital, Baku, where filming has begun for several scenes of the international adventure film Armour of God 4: Ultimatum.

According to the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Baku, the world-renowned actor is expected to spend around 10 days in the Azerbaijani capital while production continues.

Kazakhstan is the film’s primary shooting location, with filming already completed in the Mangystau and Almaty regions, as well as the city of Almaty. Azerbaijan was chosen as the project’s second filming location at the initiative of the Kazakh side.

The film is being produced by Kazakhstan’s Salem Entertainment. The project’s producer is the company’s founder, Rustem Omarov, while the film is directed by Kazakh filmmaker and stunt coordinator Robert Kun, whose appointment was personally approved by Jackie Chan. The Embassy of Kazakhstan in Azerbaijan is assisting with the production in Baku.

Several of Baku’s best-known landmarks have been selected as filming locations, including Icherisheher (the Old City), Highland Park, the Baku Funicular, the Green Theatre and Fountain Square.

The project is a joint production between Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan and ranks among the largest international film productions undertaken in Central Asia and the South Caucasus in recent years. Organizers say the collaboration reflects expanding regional cooperation in the film industry while creating new opportunities to showcase the cultural heritage and tourism potential of both countries to audiences worldwide.

Armour of God 4: Ultimatum continues the iconic franchise, with Jackie Chan returning after 13 years to reprise his role as the legendary adventurer known as the “Asian Hawk.” The film is scheduled for release in 2027.
