A source told the publication: ‘The Robbie and Hugh bromance is just going from strength to strength.
‘Hugh wants space to be made for them to do a number and sing and act in his Greatest Showman sequel.
‘Hugh and others are staying quiet until deals with Fox Studios are secured, but he is going to be a producer which means he will have a say on the cast. Robbie even doing one number would be fun.’
