The Jungle Book IMAX Trailer Reveals New Footage!

Walt Disney Pictures has released the new Jungle Book IMAX trailer for director Jon Favreau‘s upcoming live-action take on Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale. You can watch the trailer in the player below!

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.

Also starring Star Wars: The Force Awakens‘ Lupita Nyong’o, The Jungle Book will hit theaters on April 15, 2016. You can check out our D23 Expo interviews with Jon Favreau and his Jungle Book cast members by clicking here.

New Mutants Cast: Maisie Williams and Anya Taylor-Joy Rumored

Meet the New Mutants cast!

Alexandra Shipp, Anya Taylor-Joy and Maisie Williams are reportedly joining The New Mutants cast

Following an update on the 20th Century Fox X-Men spinoff feature film earlier today, HitFix is reporting that three actors have already signed on to join the New Mutants cast. The outlet claims that not only will Alexandra Shipp‘s Storm (who makes her debut in this summer’s X-Men: Apocalypse) and James McAvoy’s Professor Charles Xavier play major roles, but that Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams and The Witch star Anya Taylor-Joy will play Wolfsbane and Magick, respectively. What’s more, the report says that Cannonball, Mirage and Sunspot are all featured characters. Sunspot previously appeared in X2: X-Men United, played by Adan Canto.

Directed by The Fault in Our Stars‘ Josh Boone, New Mutants adapts the monthly comic book series of the same name that launched in 1982. Created by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod, The New Mutants follows on a group of teenage mutants as heroes in training in the Marvel Universe.

Wolfsbane, whose real name is Rahne Sinclair, is a Scottish mutant who transforms into a wolf. That’s a good fit for Williams, who is best known for playing Arya Stark on Game of Thrones. The Stark sigil on the HBO series is, after all, the image of a Direwolf. Equally appropriate is setting Taylor-Joy as Magik, aka Illyana Rasputin. Although Magik’s mutant ability lets her teleport, her true power lies in the sorcery skills she learned after being raised in the parallel dimension, Limbo. She’s also the younger sister of the X-Men’s Colossus. It remains to be seen whether or not the massive metallic mutant might also become part of the New Mutants cast to some degree.

How do you feel about these additions to the New Mutants cast? Is there anyone you’d cast as Cannonball, Mirage or Sunspot? Let us know in the comments below!
