Disney Working On A Live Action Jungle Book Sequel
While the new live action version of the Jungle Book is about to hit cinemas, Disney is already in talks with the team behind the movie, Jon Favreau (director) and Justin Marks (writer), to return in their roles for a sequel.
With the Jungle Book getting great reviews and has had a strong box office opening in some territories like Asia and Latin America, where it has pulled in over $31.7 million already and also had the second-highest industry opening for a Western movie in India, with over $8.4 million gross.
Disney did release a animated version of the Jungle Book 2 on home video in 2003, where Mowgli returned to the Jungle, but its unclear if the live action sequel would follow the story of this animated sequel.
