Universal Pictures has released the first trailer and poster for Dolittle, the upcoming Doctor Dolittle film which has been directed and co-written by Syriana filmmaker Stephen Gaghan.
In his first non-Marvel role in five years, Robert Downey Jr. stars as a physician and veterinarian living in Victorian-era England who suddenly discovers he can talk to animals. He sets out in search of a cure to help an ailing young Queen Victoria (Jessie Buckley) whilst trying to keep his ability under wraps.
Antonio Banders and Emma Thompson co-star while Tom Holland, Rami Malek, Octavia Spencer, Kumail Nanjiani, Marion Cotillard and many more lend their voices to the animals in the film which underwent some massive retooling during production and comes in at a costly budget of $175 million.
Dolittle opens in movie houses on January 17th 2020.
