At first, it was rumored that the role would of the Wizard would go to either Johnny Depp, who works with Disney on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, or Robert Downey Jr., who works with Disney on the "Iron Man" series. Later, Disney announced that Robert had won the role. But, according to some rumors, Robert seems to have left the film and the role will now go to Johnny!
The movie, which will be directed by Sam Raimi, will be a prequel to the original “Wizard of Oz”. The movie will show how the Wizard came to Oz! According to the rumors, the Wizard is forced to flee a traveling circus, but when he does, his hot air balloon is carried away by a tornado, and he lands in Oz!
