17 Disney Classics Getting Live-Action Remakes15 of 17
The Jungle Book 2
Director Jon Favreau's live action take on the classic 1967 animation took a staggering $966m at the box office following its release in April 2016 so a sequel was almost inevitable. Favreau and writer Justin Marks will return as well as young actor Neel Sethi, who played Mowgli, an orphan raised in the jungle by his animal guardian. With Faverau's live-action adaptation of The Lion King set for 2019, it is unlikely for release before then.
