For the record, this article is about the Serkis-directed adaptation. If you&#8217;re Team Serkis-&#8220;Jungle Book,&#8221; then I&#8217;ve got some great news for you. Benedict Cumberbatch has been cast as a voice in the film. <\/p>\n<p>Cumberbatch will play the villainous tiger, Shere Khan, states, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/heat-vision\/benedict-cumberbatch-joins-jungle-book-726146\" target=\"_blank\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>. Cumberbatch&#8217;s voice is a great fit for Shere Khan; as his performance as Sherlock Holmes in &#8220;Sherlock&#8221; suggest, Cumberbatch is more than capable of playing a dark yet alluring character. <\/p>\n<p>Callie Kloves is the film&#8217;s screenwriter; Steve Kloves, her father, will produce. <\/p>\n<p>The Favreau-directed &#8220;Jungle Book,&#8221; a Disney film, stars Lupita Nyong&#8217;o, Idris Elba&#8211;who is set to play Shere Khan, Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Giancarlo Esposito, Christopher Walken, Scarlett Johansson and newcomer Neel Sethi. The Serkis-directed &#8220;Jungle Book&#8221; adaptation, now called &#8220;Jungle Book: Origins,&#8221; will be in theaters Oct. 21, 2016. <\/p>\n<p>What do you think about this news?
