March 29, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Just over a year ago it was revealed that Robert Downey Jr. was sett to follow in Rex Harrison’s (and Eddie Murphy’s) footsteps by playing Doctor Dolittle on the big screen.

Antonio Banderas is onboard to play a pirate, with Michael Sheen as a character called Mudfly.

Kumail (Kumail Nanjiani) was born in Pakistan but was brought to the US by his parents when he was still a kid.
