As 2016 draws nearer, so does the release date for Jon Favreau‘s live-action retelling of Rudyard Kipling‘s classic tale The Jungle Book. After the release of posters, a motion poster and a teaser trailer, we are now being invited into intimate detail of protagonist Mowgali’s emotional psyche – Empire Magazine has released a new image for the film.
The image features newcomer Neel Sethi as Mowgali, in an emotionally heightened still with his wolf-mother, voiced by Lupita Nyong’o. You can see the image below:
The cast is also made up of Scarlett Johansson as Kaa the snake; Idris Elba as Shere-Khan the tiger; Bill Murray as Baloo the bear; Ben Kingsley as Bagheera the panther; and Christopher Walken as Cousin Louie the orangutan. The Jungle Book is set for a April 15, 2016 release.
