The highly anticipated action crime blockbuster, The Shadow’s Edge (捕风追影), featuring legendary actor Jackie Chan and Jun of the K-pop group Seventeen, is set for release this September.

The Shadow’s Edge depicts a gripping showdown between a billionaire crime syndicate that bypasses advanced surveillance systems and an elite task force determined to pursue them. Jackie Chan takes on the role of Wong Dezong, a legendary expert in criminal investigations, while Tony Leung Ka-fai delivers a fierce performance as Fu Longsheng, the ruthless head of the criminal syndicate, setting the stage for explosive action sequences.

Recently unveiled stills capture the tension as Jackie Chan and Tony Leung Ka-fai square off with intense gazes and dynamic choreography. Rising actor Zhang Zifeng, who plays rookie officer He Chuguo, brings youthful zeal and breathes new energy into the film through his intergenerational chemistry with Jackie Chan.

Adding further intrigue, actor Qi Xia impressively portrays both Xi Wang and Xi Meng — the adopted sons of Tony Leung Ka-fai’s character — while Seventeen’s Jun takes on the role of Hu Feng, a key member of the villainous syndicate Yang Family Group. Jun’s agile action scenes have already heightened anticipation among fans.

Jun’s acting credentials include his critically acclaimed debut in the 2006 film Stray Dog, which earned him Best Newcomer at the Hong Kong Directors’ Guild Awards and a historic nomination as the first Chinese child actor at the 27th Hong Kong Film Awards. He later won the Popularity Award at the Asia Contents Awards during the Busan International Film Festival for his role in Poison Fighting Fairy, and has built a varied filmography spanning multiple genres, including Hidden Ghost Master.

Joining the ensemble is Lin Chunan, who is well known to South Korean fans from Boys 2 Planet. This dream lineup brings together veteran Chinese stars, rising talents, and global K-pop idols on a single stage. The film is helmed by director Larry Yang, best known for My Learning Machine.

Set to captivate audiences this September, The Shadow’s Edge promises breathtaking action and an unforgettable cast, uniting legendary Chinese actors, next-generation stars, and international K-pop idols in a cinematic spectacle.
