There has been rumors that Disney is producing a prequel to the classic Wizard of Oz, and that they want either Robert Downey Jr. or Johnny Depp to play the wizard, before he came to Oz. Obviously, I just could not pick between the two! I mean, I love them both so freaking much! Please, Disney, put them both in the movie!! Whatever their roles may be, it would definitely be one of the most awesome movies of all time!
Isn't it ironic though, that before Iron Man or Pirates of the Caribbean, neither of these two would be anywhere near Disney's leading man list. Nobody would have thought that they would be suitable for a family movie. Downey had to fight hard to be Tony Stark, and Johnny was almost fired, by Disney, because they didn't get Depp's take on Jack Sparrow. Look at them now!
Latest news is that the role has been offered to RDJ (hopefully he'll take it!). Ducky is certainly busy in these next few years, with Iron Man 2 coming in just a couple weeks, Due Date coming in November, the Sherlock Holmes sequel reportedly begins shooting this summer, and The Avengers movie set for 2012 (and possibly Iron Man 3 in between or right after).
But, seriously, Disney, just get them both in the freaking movie!
