According to the Hollywood Reporter, Zac has been slated to star in the Disney+ remake of Three Men And A Baby.
The 1987 film, which featured Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson, follows three bumbling bachelors who suddenly find themselves taking care of a baby.
The remake will be produced by Gordon Gray, who is best known for inspiring athletic dramas like Secretariat, The Rookie and The Way Back starring Ben Affleck.
The Efron reboot will reunite the adventure-driven actor with Disney, who helped rocket him to stardom with the Disney Channel original High School Musical.

According to TMZ, the California native is considering a move to Byron Bay.
Sources alleged that Zac is ‘planning to list his Los Angeles home in the near future’ and is ‘burnt out living in and around Hollywood’.
Zac is also said to consider Byron Bay a much safer option with the pandemic.
A spokesperson for the Baywatch star previously revealed his extended stay in Australia wasn’t related to any film or television role.
‘He is not there for work,’ they told The Daily Telegraph last month, confirming that he was in the country solely for personal reasons.
Star-spotters have seen the actor a number of times while out and about in the town.
He’s been in Byron Bay since June. It’s also hometown to the likes of Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky.
