Robert Downey Jr. would rather talk to animals than people as the new Dr. Dolittle. But, as seen this official “Dolittle” trailer released Sunday, he is soon forced to leave his hideaway and set sail across the sea to a mythical island.
“We have no choice but to embark on this perilous journey,” Downey whispers to his feathered and furry friends.
And that involves getting into all sorts of dangerous situations, like being chained in a medieval dungeon with a tiger who greets him with, “hello, lunch” and then jumps him. But not to worry — a gorilla voiced by Rami Malek comes to his rescue.

“Dolittle” tells the story of famed doctor and veterinarian during the time of Queen Victoria’s England, Dr. John Dolittle, who returns to action after the loss of his wife seven years earlier caused him to become a hermit who only talks to animals. But when the young queen (Jessie Buckley, “Wild Rose”) falls ill, he goes on an adventure to find her a cure. He is joined on this quest by a young apprentice (Harry Collett, “Dunkirk”) and several animal friends, including an anxious gorilla (Malek), an enthusiastic duck (Octavia Spencer), an cynical ostrich (Kumail Nanjiani), an upbeat polar bear (John Cena), and a headstrong parrot (Emma Thompson).
Antonio Banderas also stars as Rassouli, along with Michael Sheen as Mudfly. Additional voice performers include Marion Cotillard, Frances de la Tour, Carmen Ejogo, Ralph Fiennes, Selena Gomez, Tom Holland, and Craig Robinson.
“Dolittle” is directed by Stephen Gaghan (“Syriana,” “Traffic”), and produced by Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum under their Roth/Kirschenbaum Films banner (“Alice in Wonderland,” “Maleficent”), as well as and Susan Downey (“Sherlock Holmes” franchise, “The Judge”) for Team Downey. Downey Jr. executive produces along iwth Sarah Bradshaw (“The Mummy,” “Maleficent”) and Zachary Roth (“Maleficent: Mistress of Evil”).
'El Camino': All the 'Breaking Bad' Alums Who Show Up in Vince Gilligan's Follow-Up Movie (Photos)
We know Jesse Pinkman (along with a few of his junkie friends) is back in "El Camino," the follow-up film to "Breaking Bad" that debuted on Netflix Friday.
But if you're reading this, you know that many more "Breaking Bad" vets came back, including many that didn't make it out of the AMC series alive. Here is every "Breaking Bad" alum we could find that pops up in "El Camino" (listed by order of appearance).
Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks): The flashbacks start right away, as "El Camino" opens with a quiet scene of Pinkman and Ehrmantraut, who gives him the idea of heading up to Alaska to start fresh.
This appears to take place in the same area (or at least, it's meant to resemble the same place) where Ehrmantraut was killed by Walt in one of Cranston's most brutal acts of the series.
Skinny Pete (Charles Baker): Honestly, it was just nice to see that some things, like Skinny Pete and Badger busting each other's chops over video games, haven't changed.
Old Joe (Larry Hankin): Still impressed with Jesse's great magnet plan, Old Joe initially helps Pinkman dispose of Todd's El Camino, before realizing it was low-jacked.
Adam and Mrs. Pinkman (Michael Bofshever & Tess Harper): Jesse's parents haven't been seen since Season 3 of "Breaking Bad," but appear first via a TV news broadcast and then again when Jesse calls to lure them out of their house.
Ed (Robert Forester): Everyone's favorite vacuum shop owner helps smuggle Jesse to Alaska, an offer Jesse should've taken up the first time.
Walter White (Bryan Cranston): There was no way they could do a "Breaking Bad" follow-up without Jesse's deceased partner returning in some way. This comes in a flashback that takes place in Season 2, a reminder that Jesse and Walt weren't always at odds with each other.
Jane Margolis (Krysten Ritter): "El Camino" ends the same way it begins: with a flashback. This one, with Jesse and Jane driving through the New Mexico desert, mirrors Jesse's ending in the film, as he drives off to his new life in Alaska.
"Man Mountain" (David Mattey): So this one is a pretty deep cut (and technically cheating since he shows up in “Better Call Saul” and not “Breaking Bad,” but it’s the same world). But “Man Mountain” (or “Clarence” as he’s called in “El Camino”) briefly tussled with Mike in the first season of “Better Call Saul.” He has a small scene in "El Camino" as the guy who drops off the girls for the Kandy Welding guys.
