Almost everyone knows the legendary action icon Jackie Chan and the web-slinging superhero Peter Parker from the blockbuster Spider-Man movies. The single extraordinary element that brought these two global phenomena together was the breathtaking stunt work in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Fans are naturally going to want to know how martial arts history influenced Marvel action.

A sudden trip to the United Kingdom revealed an unexpected creative crossover on set.

The legendary Jackie Chan Stunt Team was working on the movie's action sequences alongside Tom Holland, helping bring the film's fight scenes to life. As reported by HK01 in 2025, visiting the production set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Chan discovered that his world-famous stunt crew was leading the action sequences. When the director met the martial arts legend, he enthusiastically shook hands, realizing the entire stunt team belonged to Chan's legendary organization.

"I went to London for a meeting and also visited the set. My stunt team is currently filming Spider-Man, and I'm the action director,” Chan said. Martial arts icon Jackie Chan travelled to Switzerland to attend the Locarno Film Festival for the prestigious honorary Golden Panther Award for Lifetime Achievement. During the celebration, he revealed that he also visited the United Kingdom to connect with crew members working on major Marvel films.

"When I went to watch their rehearsal, the director was trembling with excitement when he saw me, letting him know that the whole team is actually my people!" Chan said in the interview with HK01. Reflecting on the memorable set visit, the action legend shared his personal perspective during a media appearance on how the stunt team was Jackie Chan’s and no one was aware until he went there himself and revealed it.

“I turned around and there he was — it was so exciting to meet such an icon, someone I've been a fan of his for such a long time, and he gave me a great vote of confidence,” he said. Audiences around the world are now finally experiencing the authentic martial arts artistry fused with modern superhero spectacle in the world of Spider-Man.
