Disney released the trailer on 15 September 2015

The trailer opens up with snippets picturing the jungle and Mowgli being distracted by the voice of Kaa the python (Scarlett Johansson): “Are you lonely here? What are you doing so deep in the jungle?”

We are immediately distracted ourselves by the blend of live action and photorealistic CGI. The trailer continues with the exciting voice of Kaa who is trying to lead Mowgli in the wrong direction, while creating for us a state of wonder and mystery.

In an interview for Yahoo Movies, Jon Favreau explains why he chose a female voice (which is very expressive and strong): “The original film was a little male-heavy so we changed the character of Kaa.”

And he chose Scarlett Johansson to be the voice of Kaa because he thinks her voice is emotive. He would know that as he worked with her before.

The creator of Iron Man has revealed some more details about The Jungle Book Movie in this interview, and we will depict them on the following page.
