The planned reboot under Universal Pictures was announced and will be titled The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle, with Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. set to star, and an April 2019 release.
This was all we knew about the film for quite a while, until Robert Downey Jr. recently took to Twitter to reveal the full cast list for next year’s film.
The cast list announced today shows promise, with a number of Oscar-winners on the list.
Shortly after the film rights to Doctor Dolittle were auctioned off to Universal Studios, the production studio announced their plans for a reboot of the film.
