Chan has primarily featured in martial arts and action-comedy films - two genres that don't really get recognition by award givers. Filming for martial arts superstar Jackie Chan’s latest movie Ride On has begun, with a lensing ceremony held earlier this week to officially kick things off. The award is a chance for The Academy to acknowledge an artist's whole body of work.

The Apocalypse stories aren't fun anymore.
