Robert Downey Jr after entertaining everyone as the beloved superhero, Iron Man in the Marvel universe, is now all set to star in Dolittle, the remake of the 1998 film Dr Dolittle starring Eddie Murphy in a lead role. In the remake, Downey Jr is joined by a fantastic supporting cast who will be voice acting for the animal characters and they include Selena Gomez, John Cena, Rami Malek, Octavia Spencer, Ralph Fiennes among others. After the first trailer received a lot of amazing responses, the makers have now released a second trailer of the film. In the first trailer, we had seen that RDJ's Doctor is joined on his quest by a young, self-appointed apprentice (Harry Collett). Dolittle: Robert Downey Jr Auditions the Film's Animal Cast and Rami Malek's Chee-Chee, Octavia Spencer's Dab-Dab Will Leave You in Splits.

The new trailer showcases RDJ's doctor facing a dragon! Yes, every time someone says that we are reminded of Game Of Thrones but this one's quite a different one. The film shows RDJ's doctor going into isolation along with his animal friends after losing his wife. However, after the young queen (Jessie Buckley, Wild Rose) falls ill, a reluctant Dolittle is forced to move out of his manor and set sail to a mythical island in search of a cure, where he also discovers wondrous creatures.  Dolittle Trailer: Robert Downey Jr as an Animal Man Is on a Quest for a Good Deed (Watch Video).
