Just a few days ago it was reported that Robert Downey Jr. had dropped out of Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens over his scheduling conflict with the Sherlock Holmes sequel.
At the time DreamWorks said they remained committed to pushing forward with the film and were in the process of looking for a new lead for the summer 2011 film. Collider is now reporting that is reporting Daniel Craig (Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace) is in negotiations with DreamWorks to play the lead character, Zeke Jackson.
Shortly after Collider’s scoop, Variety confirmed their scoop.
