Han Geng will play the role of Joker or Monkey, which was played by Stephen Chou in the first two installments.
He says he feels stressed as Chou's Joker is quite a classic figure.
The singer has turned his focus on acting in recent years and starred in many films such as "So Young", "Ex-files" and "Ever Since We Love".
Meanwhile, Ng Man-tat, Athena Chu, Karen Mok and others actors in the first two installments also return to the movie.
Directed by Jeffrey Lau, the film is very loosely based on the classic Chinese novel "Journey to the West".
It revolves around a love story.
Although the first two franchises grabbed poor box revenues when it hit theatres in the 1995, the fantasy-comedy film is seen as a classic by many young Chinese people.
It was brought back to theaters last year.
