Oz the Great and Powerful was one of my childhood movies of time, it was a fun movie Surprisingly very funny and pretty solid acting all the way around. oh man, I like James Franco, he was great in the movie. he’s a perfect mold for me. but something else who almost cast as The Wizard of Oz.

of quick search the Wikipedia, IMDb, and Tv Tropes there was Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. were also considered for the role of Oz. Johnny Depp. I can somewhat see, but he was a bit old and already had a huge fantasy movies Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland, and Finding Neverland. actually would’ve been intrigued with Robert Downey Jr. he’s has been doing superhero movies and fantasy movies. I think he’s actually did fantasy movies like Sherlock Holmes and Dolittle, I can that.

Outside of those 2 who else did you think could’ve been good the wizard of oz or even better
