Zac Efron is heading back to Disney! The High School Musical alum will be starring in a remake of the classic 1987 comedy, Three Men and a Baby, according to The Hollywood Reporter, who first reported the news. The feature will debut on Disney+, Disney’s streaming platform that saw massive hits this year with originals like The Mandalorian.
Starring Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Guttenberg, Three Men and a Baby followed a trio of clueless New York bachelors as they tried to take care of a strange infant dropped off on their doorstep while fending off drug dealers after a comical misinterpretation about the baby’s origin. The movie was the biggest box office hit of the year and was lauded for showing a softer, paternal side of three acting heavyweights. There was a sequel three years later titled Three Men and a Little Lady, but it was significantly less successful.
