The Jungle Book is set to blast onto cinema screens next month in what promises to be one of the biggest and best movies of the spring.

The Jungle Book is a brand new live-action adaptation of the Rudyard Kipling novel from Disney and will see Jon Favreau back in the director's chair.

Favreau is no stranger to the blockbuster with the likes of Iron Man and Iron Man 2 already under hit belt - however, this is his first feature film since Chef back in 2014.

The director has brought together a wonderful cast list as Idris Elba, Ben Kingsley, Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyong'o, and Giancarlo Esposito will voice the characters of Shere Khan, Bagheera, Kaa, Raksha, and Akela.

And the actors feature in some great new images alongside their animal characters:

The movie will also introduce us to the acting talents of young Neel Sethi, who is set to take on the role of Mowgli in the upcoming feature film. Bill Murray, Christopher Walken, and Ralph Ineson are also on board as Baloo, King Louis, and Rama.

Disney has had huge success with live action movies Maleficent and Cinderella and The Jungle Book is promising to be the biggest film yet. I really cannot wait to see what Favreau delivers.

The Jungle Book is released 15th April.
