The dragon blood runs hot again! Disney’s reimagining this 2000s animated fave as a high-flying live-action flick, blending urban grit with mythical mayhem. Jaden Smith steps up as Jake Long, the cocky teen skateboarder who uncovers his dragon destiny—guarding magical beasts hiding in plain sight amid NYC’s chaos. From dodging bullies at school to flame-throwing flips over rooftops, Jake’s juggling crushes, homework, and world-saving like a pro.

Jackie Chan? Absolute legend as Grandpa Lao Shi—the strict, stunt-master mentor dropping wisdom (and kicks) in equal measure. His dry humor and dragon lore lessons turn training montages into laugh-out-loud gold, echoing Chan’s timeless charm. Ancient hunters and shadowy villains lurk, threatening to shatter the human-magic truce, forcing Jake to master his scales before it’s too late.

Trailers tease epic aerial battles, portal-punching action, and heartfelt beats on family legacy—think Kung Fu Panda meets Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but live and leaping. Smith’s raw edge captures Jake’s vulnerability under the swagger, making his glow-up feel earned. Dropping November 22 on Disney+ after festival buzz, this nostalgic nitro’s a 7.9/10 crowd-roarer: fun, fierce, and full of heart. Who’s channeling their inner dragon?
