During his two terms in office, the Democrat led the United States into World War 1, created the Federal Reserve and banned child labor.
DiCaprio's project would be Hollywood's first presidential biopic since "Lincoln," the Steven Spielberg production that starred Daniel Day Lewis, who won an Academy Award for best actor.
DiCaprio has played many larger than life American figures over the years including FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover and billionaire Howard Hughes.
Hollywood has tackled Wilson's life before, A 1944 film, called "Wilson" starring Alexander Knox in the title role, was a box office flop that went on to win five Oscars.
