Johnny Depp is reportedly in talks to take over for Robert Downey, Jr. in the prequel to The Wizard of Oz.
Oz, the Great and Powerful tells the story of a young illusionist who flees the circus, only to have his hot air balloon caught up in a tornado that lands him in the land of Oz.
Downey was scheduled for the role but has dropped out of the project.
The wizard-to-be could now be Depp, according to THR.
Sam Raimi is set to direct.
Gossip Cop is looking to confirm the Depp report.
The actor has had a wildly successful history with Disney, the studio behind Oz, having starred in Alice in Wonderland and anchored the Pirates of the Caribbean series.
