American Dragon: Jake Long (2026)

 Starring: Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan

 Quote: “I’m not just defending my block… I’m defending the magic nobody sees.” 

Jake Long (Jaden Smith) is a 17‑year‑old Brooklyn skater who thinks his family’s “old stories” are just that—until he sprouts scales mid‑wipeout and nearly torches the skatepark.  When his grandfather Lao Shi (Jackie Chan), a grumpy Chinatown herbalist, finally comes clean, Jake learns he’s the next American Dragon, sworn to protect every hidden magical creature in New York.

Training sessions turn into Jackie‑style stunt chaos: rooftop chases, ladder fights in cramped shops, and mid‑air sparring over the East River as Jake struggles to fly without face‑planting.  At the same time, a tech‑armed hunter syndicate starts kidnapping trolls, mer‑folk and pixies to sell their powers on the dark web, using viral “monster sighting” clips as bait. 

As the city turns against anything not human, Jake has to balance school, friends and first love with a secret war in the alleys and subways beneath their feet. Neon‑lit dragon dogfights above Manhattan, subway battles on runaway trains, and a final showdown on the Brooklyn Bridge force him to decide what kind of protector he wants to be: weapon, outlaw… or the bridge between two worlds that have always been at war. 

 Rating: 8.8/10 – fast, funny and heartfelt, with spectacular dragon action and classic Jackie Chan charm.
