The Dark And Scary Version Of Jungle Book Comes Alive In The First Trailer 'Mowgli'

nicholas - Trailers - 22 May 2018

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the first trailer for Mowgli, a new and darker adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's classic The Jungle Book by Andy Serkis. 



The story follows the upbringing of the human child Mowgli, raised by a wolf pack in the jungles of India. As he learns the often harsh rules of the jungle, under the tutelage of a bear named Baloo and a panther named Bagheera, Mowgli becomes accepted by the animals of the jungle as one of their own. All but one: the fearsome tiger Shere Khan. But there may be greater dangers lurking in the jungle, as Mowgli comes face to face with his human origins.


The actors performing the roles of the story’s central animal characters are: Oscar winner Christian Bale (The Dark Knight Trilogy) as the cunning panther, Bagheera; Oscar winner Cate Blanchett (Thor: Ragnarok) as the sinister snake, Kaa; Oscar nominee Benedict Cumberbatch (Avengers: Infinity War) as the fearsome tiger, Shere Khan; Oscar nominee Naomie Harris (Rampage) as Nisha, the female wolf, who adopts the baby Mowgli as one of her cubs; and Andy Serkis (Black Panther) as the wise bear, Baloo. On the human side, Matthew Rhys (The Post) is Lockwood; Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire) is Messua; and young actor Rohan Chand (Bad Words) will play Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves.
