Could Harrison Ford be putting on a cowboy hat and riding the range? There's a bit of smoke to the rumor that Latino Review ran yesterday that suggests such a thing is a possibility: Jon Favreau tweeted that some "very cool" casting news was coming soon and that syncs up with what a LR source told them, that Ford was going to join the cast of a new movie based on a comic book that was going to be directed by someone coming off of a different comic book movie. Does that sound like the guy that did Iron Man 2 going off to do Cowboys & Aliens?

According to a report from the L.A. Times, Robert Downey Jr. has dropped out of playing cowboy Zeke Johnson in the film. Why Downey decided to bail is a cause for speculation, but the paper takes a stab and guesses that it may have something to do with the box office success of Sherlock Holmes, and that studio's desire to see a sequel move into production in the near future.
