The first is following the move from Warner Bros to the streaming service, Netflix has revealed the date of Andy Serkis’ Jungle Book film, Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle will be available to watch. Additionally, there was a new poster and trailer.
You can watch the trailer below.
As you can guess this is a darker and more faithful telling of Rudyard Kipling’s classic story compared to Disney’s adaptation with similarly incredible effects with an all-star cast including Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Benedict Cumberbatch, Andy Serkis (who's also directing), Freida Pinto, Matthew Rhys and Naomie Harris as well as Rohan Chand as Mowgli.
The film will be shown in cinemas for a limited release on November 29 before the global launch on 7 December.

Reynolds (Deadpool) will be joined by French actress Mélanie Laurent (Inglourious Basterds), Corey Hawkins (Straight Outta Compton, Kong: Skull Island), Pacific Rim: Uprising’s Adria Arjona, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Magnificent Seven, Murder On The Orient Express), Britain’s own Ben Hardy best known currently playing Roger Taylor in Bohemian Rhapsody.
