Chan plays an ancient Chinese general who's reincarnated in modern times and looks for his love interest from his previous life, who has survived because she took a longevity pill.

Chan said he found his role's stoicism challenging. (Director) Stanley Tong would tell me, 'You have to convey love but can't use any facial expressions.' How can you do that? It's impossible to do, Chan said at a news conference in Hong Kong.

The Myth features a racially diverse cast that includes South Korean Kim Hee-sun and Bollywood sex symbol Mallika Sherawat. It was shot at locations in China and India.

Chan, the star of the Rush Hour series, said he's eager to diversify his projects. I don't want to stay at the same spot. I want to pave a new road, he said.

Chan also sang the theme song for The Myth, Endless Love, with Kim.
