The first official trailer for Signature Entertainment's The Iron Mask promises plenty of sword fights, dragons and fantastical places.
It opens with an imprisoned Jackie Chan using his martial arts skills on a group of British soldiers, before coming face-to-face with Arnold Schwarzenegger -- wig, mustache, muttonchops and all. Later, Jason Flemyng's Jonathan Green joins a young boy on a journey along the Silk Road.
The Iron Mask will be the first film that sees Chan and Schwarzenegger share a scene together. Both actors were confirmed for the film back in Nov. 2016.
The Iron Mask is a followup to Forbidden Kingdom, which originally released in Russia on Jan. 30, 2014 and was directed by Oleg Stepchenko. Forbidden Kingdom, or Viy as it was called in Russia, is based on a story by playwright Nikolai Gogol. Jason Flemyng and Charles Dance will both reprise their roles from Forbidden Kingdom in The Iron Mask. The film first released in China on Aug. 16, 2019 and later released in Russia on Sept. 21, 2019.
Directed by Oleg Stepchenko, The Iron Mask and will release both in theaters and digitally in the United States on April 10. The film's script was written by Stepchenko, Dmitri Palees and Alexey Petrukhin.
