Idris Elba In Side By Side Photo As Shere Khan In Jon Favreau’s Jungle Book
This is not your children’s cartoon version. Disney has released a series of photos of the cast of Jon Favreau’s upcoming “The Jungle Book” film. The shots include the actors paired with their CG animals and include Scarlett Johansson as Kaa, Giancarlo Esposito as Akela, Ben Kingsley as Bagheera, Christopher Walken as King Louie, Lupita Nyong’o as Raksha, and Idris Elba as Shere Khan.
While trailers for Jon Favreau’s upcoming take on The Jungle Book largely indicate Neel Sethi’s Mowgli as the only human character on screen, the film is stacked with an impressive voice cast behind the movie’s many animal characters. And a new set of cast photos pairs those familiar faces (and voices) with their animal counterparts.
Directed by Jon Favreau, The Jungle Book offers an all-new, live-action/CGI epic adventure about Mowgli (Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (Bill Murray).
Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (Scarlett Johansson), a python who’s seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire.
The film itself opens April 15th.
