The international creative team behind "Armour of God: Ultimatum" has begun the next phase of filming in Baku.

According to Report, the information was provided by the Azerbaijan Cinema Agency.

The film centers on a new mission for the "Asian Hawk," who must find the ancient Tumar artifact, for which a reward of more than $20 million has been offered. The film is being shot simultaneously in several countries.

The project brings together actors and film professionals from different countries. For the first time, film crews from Kazakhstan and China have joined forces for the production.

"Ultimatum" is the fourth installment in the cult "Armour of God" franchise. The lead role is played by renowned actor Jackie Chan, who reprises his iconic role as the adventurer Asian Hawk.

Baku was selected as a filming location in line with the film's artistic concept. According to the storyline, the new chapter takes place around the Caspian Sea, which is why the next phase of filming is being carried out in Azerbaijan.

Several key scenes will be filmed at various locations across Baku. The production is also particularly significant for Jackie Chan, as this marks the actor's first time filming in Azerbaijan.

The Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijan Cinema Agency are supporting the organization of the film crew's visit to Azerbaijan and the filming process in the country.
