There’s also a March 29th, 2019 date that Disney has reserved for a live-action movie that could ultimately go to Burton’s remake.
The live-action Dumbo reportedly includes three main adult.
The Mouse House already has a pretty full release slate for 2018 (including another live-action retelling of a Disney animated movie, Mulan), but there is an August 3rd date that year that Disney is holding onto for another live-action fairy tale film, plausibly Dumbo.
We may soon learn who is playing the third leading role in Dumbo, what with the start of production being right around the corner.
