Earlier today, the first trailer for Andy Serkis' MOWGLI hit the net, leaving many fans of Rudyard Kipling's classic tale from "The Jungle Book" awe-struck by the film's serious tone and emphasis on action over family-friendly spectacle. Recently, our own Paul Shirey engaged in a chat with the movie's director and star, Andy Serkis, which you can check out here. During their time together, Serkis talks about the influence of the Jon Favreau-directed Jungle Book film (2016), what it was like to helm his first big-budget feature, as well as how he landed MOWGLI's star-studded cast of voice actors and much more.
Following up the release of the trailer, Warner Bros. has now shared a brand-new poster for the film, which features the fantasy movie's title character, Mowgli, looking rather battle-torn and ready to die for his jungle home.
You can check it out for yourself below:
