It seems Disney and Tim Burton have diverse thoughts about who would be good to fill the shoes of the main male role in their planned live action version of Dumbo. Will Smith, Chris Pine, and Casey Affleck have all looked at and passed on the part, and now it’s the turn of Colin Farrell, who’s in talks for the role, according to Variety.
The plot of the film will revolve both around the baby elephant with enormous ears, as well as some children that befriend him. Assuming he signs on, Farrell would play the father of those children (earlier reports suggest the role is the ringmaster of the circus Dumbo is part of, although other rumours say that may no longer be true).
Eva Green and Danny DeVito are already attached to the movie. It appears the film will shoot this year, although Disney is yet to set a release date.

It’s been a big month for gay visibility in major movies. After years of criticism of Disney for never including LGBT characters in their movies, they brought us Lefou in Beauty & The Beast (who admittedly isn’t exactly out and proud – but he’s certainly queer), and now it’s been revealed that one of the new Power Rangers will be openly gay.
