January 20, 2011 - Oz the Great and Powerful / Robert Downey Jr. out, Johnny Depp in?
Scooped on Thursday, January 20, 2011
Disney is now in talks with Johnny Depp to play Oz the Great and Powerful because Robert Downey Jr. has moved on to other greener pastures. The Iron Man actor made the decision to exit Oz, leaving the studio in a lurch. Disney turned to Depp, whom is a favored son with the Mouse House after making lots of money for them with three Pirates of the Caribbean movies (and a fourth coming out later this year) and the latest Alice in Wonderland movie. But if Depp agrees to make Oz first (right after he stars in Dark Shadows for pal Tim Burton), then the slowly cooking Lone Ranger movie will likely get pushed back into 2012. Will director Gore Verbinski wait for Depp to play Tonto in Lone Ranger?
