"Marvel movies are known for their quippy dialogue and infamous post-credits scenes, but ultimately, the MCU is an action franchise. Every single movie and series is full of meticulously choreographed combat, and now a new Marvel movie is taking its stunt design to the next level by employing a team founded by an action legend. MCU movies and shows are sometimes criticized for letting their fight scenes get muddled and bland, but this could let fight choreography retake center stage."
"According to Hong Kong publication , when action movie legend Jackie Chan accepted a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Locarno Film Festival, he revealed he had recently visited the London set of the MCU's fourth Spider-Man movie, Brand New Day. "My Jackie Chan Stunt Team was busy filming Spider-Man," Chan said. "I went to watch their rehearsals, and the director was so excited when he saw me.""
"The Jackie Chan Stunt Team was founded in 1976.

In fact, they rarely collaborate on any movie that doesn't involve Chan himself, although the team did previously work with Marvel on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings."
Marvel Cinematic Universe films and series prioritize action and meticulously choreographed combat. The Jackie Chan Stunt Team, founded in 1976, has worked in filmmaking for nearly half a century and rarely collaborates on high-profile Hollywood projects that do not involve Chan, though the team previously worked on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Jackie Chan reported visiting the London set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and watching his team's rehearsals, noting the director's excitement. Director Destin Daniel Cretton previously collaborated with the stunt team on Shang-Chi. Brand New Day could shift Spider-Man's established fighting style toward more kung-fu-influenced hand-to-hand choreography.
