The long-running "Armor of God" franchise has popped up on the Kazakh steppes: filming for the new chapter, Armor of God 4: Ultimatum, starring Jackie Chan, is underway in Mangystau. Cameras rolled for the first block of scenes from June 7–12 in the Bozzhira tract, whose stark, otherworldly terrain will frame at least part of the protagonist’s journey. Production is being handled by Sәlem Entertainment and Dala Edge Creative Tech Park. Plotwise, Jackie Chan returns as an adventurer called the Asian Hawk, pulled into a perilous global chase centered on an ancient relic known as the "Tumar." A $20M reward has been posted for the item, which draws mercenaries from across the globe into the scramble. Filming aims to wrap by the end of this year, with a worldwide premiere slated for Feb 2027 — and yes, I admit, imagining those chase scenes against Bozzhira’s cliffs is oddly exciting (e.g., sweeping dune-to-sky shots).
