We may see that giant rabbit yet.

After reigniting his career as billionaire playboy Tony Stark in Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. is in talks to star in the Steven Spielberg-directed remake of the Jimmy Stewart classic Harvey, reports the Los Angeles Times Hero Complex blog.

The original, as you may recall, tells the story of a man whose BFF is a large bunny that no one else can see.

This creates problems.

Still, with the supertalented star on a roll with badass parts in Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes, this could be a fun change of pace. Or a disappointment. Oh, who knows?

But we would go see this based on RDJ alone. Would you?
