Lupita Nyong’o Christopher Walken

The Jungle Book (2016), Neel Sethi, Scarlett Johansson (Kaa voice)

Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Jungle Book (2016).

It’s time for another re-imagining of a popular story from your childhood.

I recall the story of The Jungle Book somewhat vaguely and I’m looking forward to this remake because the cast includes Idris Elba, Scarlett Johansson, Ben Kingsley, Lupita Nyong’o and Christopher Walken.

Directed by Jon Favreau, this promising re-telling has relative newcomer Neel Sethi as Mowgli.

I’m curious whether I’ll warm to Scarlett Johansson’s Kaa voice. Not quite sure at this point. The good news is I’m most ready for Bill Murray as Baloo.

The Jungle Book Release Dates: April 15th, 2026 (US & UK)…

Happy Film Loving,
