Joly regularly plays the villain in Action films in Asia, and appeared alongside major actors in the region including Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. In his role as Decimus in Jackie Chan’s film Dragon Blade, he shared the screen with American actors John Cusack and Adrien Brody, and French singer/actress Lorie Pester.
Recent projects include Juno Mak's latest film "Sons of the Neon Night" (Chinese: 風林火山), The White Storm 2 - Drug Lords (Chinese: 扫毒2天地对决), and the Chinese Sci-fi action film Ultimate Code (Chinese: 终极代码) in which Joly plays a lead role as the main villain alongside a Chinese cast and fellow french actor and Parkour founder David Belle.
