It seems that Lupita reign isn’t letting up. It’s been announced that Lupita is in final talks with Disney to play in the Jungle Book movie. She isn’t the only one Disney wants to play in their live action Movie. Heat Vision reports the studio is in negotiations with Scarlett Johansson. See below what characters these actresses will play.
Idris Elba was announced earlier this year with his involvement. He will be the voice of villainous tiger Shere Khan. Lupita is close to finalizing a part as Rakcha, the wolf that takes in the orphaned Mowgli, while Johansson is in talks to play Kaa, the python that uses hypnosis to capture prey. This seems like this movie is going to be really good if both actresses are chosen and they accept the roles.
