The Greatest Showman On Earth would be a return to form for both Zac Efron and Hugh Jackman, as both have built a good part of their careers with musical theater projects.
Those rumors are hinting at fellow music man Zac Efron circling a role alongside Jackman, turning this film into a spectacle for the young and old alike.
Since 2009, Hugh Jackman and 20th Century Fox have been trying to get The Greatest Showman On Earth off of the ground and in front of the cameras.
Hugh Jackman, on the other hand, has long been penciled in to play P.T. Barnum ever since the project started, and will presumably maintain said role moving forward.
