    Christopher Walken will voice King Louie, the ruler of a troop of monkeys and apes, and Giancarlo Esposito will play Akela, leader of the wolf pack, in Disney‘s Jungle Book. It’s the latest edition to the live-action/animation hybrid pic, which Jon Favreau is directing from a script by Justin Marks. The duo join Ben Kingsley as Bagheera, Lupita Nyong’o as Raksha, Idris Elba as Shere Khan, Scarlett Johansson as Kaa and newcomer Neel Sethi as Mowgli – the only actor to physically appear on screen. The 3D pic has an October 9, 2015 release date.

    I’ve never seen the Jungle Book. Maybe I’ll give this a shot though

    Winnie the Pooh voiced the snake in the animated movie.

    Esposito not as bad guy nor mislead guy. Joins an interesting cast. Had no idea that Johansson is cast as Kaa, nice. As kid I wanted Kaa as friend (I was that weird).

    Not only is Christopher Walken “Hook”, he’s also going to be King Louie.

    The last time we had a live action Jungle Book movie was in 1994. [x]

    I really hope we get to hear Christopher Walken sing “Wanna Be Like You.”

    Can he sing or does it not matter? I know he can dance. He was in a music video a while back.

    This is for the 2016 movie, not the 2015 one.

    Cumberbatch vs Elba for Shere Khan
