Danny DeVito is reportedly in talks to star in Tim Burton's live-action adaptation of" Dumbo."
The director was first tapped to take charge of the new version of the 1941 animated Disney movie back in 2015, and now fresh reports suggest DeVito is in negotiations to play Medici, the man who sells his small circus to villain Vandemere.
According to Deadline, the actor's deal is close to being signed, but moviemakers and the actor are trying to work around his schedule while he stars in Broadway show "The Price."
If DeVito signs on, he could potentially join Eva Green, who is in talks to play French trapeze artist Colette.
