To frustrate their plans and save people, the Chinese guard teams up with a partner. He becomes an American, formerly a Marine Chris Saatchi.

Sina instead of stallone
The role of Jackie Luo is played by Jackie Chan, and in the role of his partner Chris, Sylvester Stallone was originally supposed to star. For the first time, viewers would see the tandem of Chan and Stallone on the screen - before they did not intersect on the set. But it didn’t happen - Stallone was forced to leave the project because of his commitments to the Creed-2 film.
Instead, John Cena was approved for the lead role. The 42-year-old American wrestler has won 25 championships, including 16 world championships. Recently, Sina is a sought-after Hollywood actor. He made his debut with a small role in the comedy "Girl Without Complexes" in 2015. Then there were works in the comedies Hello, Dad, New Year and Sisters.
In 2017, the champion starred in the military drama "The Wall" - film critics and viewers positively appreciated his game. In “Project X” they expect him not only a brilliant acting, but also professional fights, masterful performance of complex tricks. The same audience expect from his partner in the film and the second leading actor Jackie Chan.
