A third film was meant to be produced under the title 'Shanghai Dawn'. Plans for the film were posted on Jackie Chan's website, but after some news of casting and production plans, no film has been produced. While unconfirmed, it is speculated that the project has been halted indefinitely as there is no news nor release dates. In a February 7, 2003, interview, Owen Wilson said: "We're talking about it maybe starting in Hollywood and then going from there to Africa or the Pyramids... I feel like we have the freedom to take them anywhere in time we want."
On May 14, 2015, MGM announced that they are moving forward with 'Shanghai Dawn'. Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson and Fann Wong are expected to reprise their roles as Chon Wang, Roy O'Bannon and Chon Lin respectively. In September 2016, Jared Hess signed on as director for the film while both Millar and Gough will develop a screen story with Theodore Riley and Aaron Buchsbaum writing the script for the film. As of 2022, there's no information about either the film progress or the release date.
