11:13 AM PDT 6/25/2014 by Rebecca Ford

Ben Kingsley will voice the black panther Bagheera in Disney’s The Jungle Book adaptation.

Jon Favreau is directing the film from a script by Justin Marks. The project, slated for release in 3D on October 9, 2015, is a combination of live-action and animation. Following a boy who is raised by the animals of the jungle, the film will feature mostly CG for the animals.

Idris Elba already has been cast as the voice of the tiger Shere Khan in Disney's take on Rudyard Kipling's classic tale.

Kingsley’s recent projects include Ender's Game and Iron Man 3. His upcoming films include Autobahn, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb and Exodus: Gods and Kings. He’s repped by CAA, Independent Talent Group and Stone Meyer.

Warner Bros. also is moving forward with its own adaptation of The Jungle Book, with Andy Serkis attached to direct.

Watch the new teaser trailer for Disney’s The Jungle Book now! At 9am PT on 9/15/15 join Jon Favreau (Director) and Neel Sethi (Mowgli) for a Twitter Q&A using #AskJungleBook.

See the film in theatres April 15, 2016.

Directed by Jon Favreau (“Iron Man”), based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories and inspired by Disney’s classic animated film, “The Jungle Book” is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli (newcomer 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 (voice of 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 (voice of Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Bill Murray). Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (voice of Scarlett Johansson), a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (voice of Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire. The all-star cast also includes Lupita Nyong'o as the voice of the fiercely protective mother wolf Raksha, and Giancarlo Esposito as the voice of wolf pack’s alpha male Akela. “The Jungle Book” seamlessly blends live-action with photorealistic CGI animals and environments, using up-to-the-minute technology and storytelling techniques to immerse audiences in an enchanting and lush world. The wild adventure swings into theaters in 3D on April 15, 2016.
