A side-by-side comparison between this version and the Favreau version (of the announced cast who have counterparts to the other production):
Shere Khan: Benedict Cumberbatch/Idris Elba
Baloo: Andy Serkis/Bill Murray
Bagheera: Christian Bale/Ben Kingsley
Mowgli: Rohan Chand/Neel Sethi
Kaa: Kate Blanchett/Scarlett Johansson
Akela: Peter Mullan/Giancarlo Esposito
That's some motherfucking big names. Well, not Mowgli, but the rest have a lot of recognizable actors there.
