Dumbo, the lovable gray elephant with oversized ears, gazes upward with a joyful expression under soft lighting, capturing the enchanting look familiar to fans of Disney’s live-action film featuring Michael Keaton.

Michael Keaton took to “Good Morning America” this morning to promote the upcoming “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” During the show, the veteran actor unexpectedly announced one of his upcoming roles. He will be playing the villain in Disney’s live-action remake of its animated classic, “Dumbo.”

This will reunite Keaton with director Tim Burton, who is set to helm the project. The two worked together in the past on “Beetlejuice” and “Batman.”

A guest interacts with Beetlejuice, dressed in his signature black-and-white striped suit and ghostly makeup, as he sits on a rock—a look inspired by Michael Keaton’s character in the live-action remake of Disney’s Dumbo.

Colin Farrell, Eva Green and Danny DeVito have also been linked to the movie, but there is currently no scheduled release date.

Keaton will hit the big screen as the villain on July 7 when “Spider-Man: Homecoming” swings into theaters.
