Jet Li May Fight in Tekken – Action star’s martial arts put to the test again.

Jet Li has apparently decided that Hua Yuenjia (Fearless) will not be his last martial arts film after all. The Chinese star of Hero, Lethal Weapon 4, and many other action films will star in the upcoming Tekken movie adaptation, according to Apollo Lounge and China Economic Net.

Jet Li is reportedly set to play “Boxer”, one of the characters from the popular arcade and PlayStation games. At this point, his is the only name attached to the film that most Western moviegoers would recognize; it’s not surprising that the producers wanted to get such a high-profile actor involved.

Tekken hasn’t gone into production yet, but it’s expected to be shot and released sometime in 2006. The film is being directed by Charles Stone III (Mr. 3000).
