There's not too long to wait now until Jon Favreau's live action/CG blended adaptation of The Jungle Book stalks, slithers and pounces onto our screens. To show off some more of the film's impressive animal creations, the first clip has Idris Elba's Shere Khan warning his fellow mammals about the man cub (Neel Sethi's Mowgli) lurking in their ranks. Watch it below.
The new film, which once more adapts Rudyard Kipling's 19th century source material, follows the adventures of the young human jungle-dweller Mowgli. Orphaned and raised by wolves, he learns of his heritage and must decide whether he belongs with his own kind or stays in the jungle with the animals he knows as family.
And following on from the recent batch of images showing the voice cast with their animals, a new set of character posters with just the various creatures has arrived.
First up we have Sethi's Mowgli and Baloo the bear, voiced with typically languid charm by Bill Murray. The pair will, as the story dictates, become fast friends, with Baloo imparting the wisdom he's learned through the years.
Next there's Elba's Shere Khan and Ben Kingsley's Bagheera, the two sides of the big cat coin that threatens and protects our young hero. While Khan sees Mowgli as a danger to be destroyed, Bagheera is the wise protector who is training him to survive in the jungle and making sure he's prepared to return to his fellow humans.
Following those two, we have another protector/danger duo in Raksha (Lupita Nyong'o), the wolf who raises the boy as her own child and scheming snake Kaa (Scarlett Johansson), who wants to manipulate him.
Finally, all on his own, the king of the swingers, giant ape King Louie (Christopher Walken), after anything Mowgli can provide about humanity's dangerous "red flower", the animals' term for fire.
The Jungle Book will be out on April 15.
