Chan to "Stretch" Talent With Disney

Jackie Chan plans to stretch his martial arts abilities by starring in Disney's planned action-comedy "Stretch Armstrong," the Hollywood Reporter said Monday in Los Angeles.

Chan would star as an "uptight Chinese spy and martial artist who stumbles upon a secret formula that gives him stretching powers," the Reporter says.

The lead character for the movie -- which hasn't yet been given the "green light," is based on the elastic CAP Toys superhero action figure of the same name, the trade journal said.

Chan's most recent project with Disney was "Shanghai Noon."
