Robert Downey, Jr.'s first post-Marvel film is a bit different than saving the world as Tony Stark. He is playing Dr. Dolittle in a movie based on the series of childrens books written by Hugh Lofting. Interstingly 2020 will be the 100th anniversary of the publication of the first Dr. Dolittle book and what better way to celebrate than with a big Hollywood movie with a big Hollywood cast. The use of Louis Armstrong's What A Wonderful World is used with great effect, and as we have seen with The Jungle Book and The Lion King, talking animals are in right now.
Dolittle releases January 17, 2020 and stars Robert Downey, Jr., Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen, Emma Thompson, Rami Malek, John Cena, Kumail Nanjiani, Octavia Spencer, Tom Holland, Craig Robinson, Ralph Fiennes, Selena Gomez and Marion Cotillard.
