Paul Feig's latest film, 'Jackpot,' is what he describes as 'the Lost Jackie Chan movie,' inspired by the legendary Hong Kong actor's iconic characters.

The action-comedy unfolds in a dystopian Los Angeles, where Awkwafina and John Cena star as Katie and Noel. The plot revolves around a deadly 'Grand Lottery' where the winner can be legally killed before sundown to claim a multibillion-dollar reward.

John Cena, who performed many of his own stunts, shared his excitement about the film’s intense action scenes. Despite not knowing co-star Awkwafina beforehand, both actors built a strong rapport during filming. 'Jackpot' opens in U.S. theaters this Thursday.
