DreamWorks Animation's
Oobermind
has three new superheroes.
Will Ferrell
is stepping in for
Robert Downey Jr
. in the title role while
Brad Pitt
and
Jonah Hill
have also signed on. The 3D animated comedy is due for release in 2010.
In the film, Ferrell's supervillain imagines all his dastardly dreams coming true after defeating good-guy rival Metro Man (Pitt), only to find life quite boring without an adversary. To fill the void, Oobermind creates a new superhero, Titan (Hill), who also wants to be bad, forcing Oobermind to switch sides,
Variety
explains.
Tina Fey
had already been onboard to play the reporter on the beat of the city's confusing superhero situation.
Tom McGrath
is directing with
Lara Breay
and
Denise Nolan Cascino
producing.
Downey Jr. is said to have had a scheduling conflict.
Separately, it was reported on Friday that Downey Jr. is in talks to star as Lestat in a Universal reboot of
Anne Rice
's
Vampire Chronicles
.
