Universal's new Doctor Dolittle film has cast Spider-Man and Harry Potter stars.
The Hollywood Reporter reports Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Homecoming), Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter), and Emma Thompson (Beauty and the Beast) will be voice-starring in The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle. Not much else about their roles is currently known.

Stephen Gaghan (Gold, Syriana) will direct the movie from his own script, with the story based on author Hugh Lofting's 1920s children's book series. Susan Downey, Joe Roth, and Jeff Kirschenbaum are producing. The Voyage Of Doctor Dolittle will begin production this month and will open in theaters on April 12, 2019.
