One is coming from Disney and Iron Man director Jon Favreau, while the other is coming from Warner Bros. and Mo-Cap maven Andy Serkis, who makes his directorial debut with Jungle Book: Origins.While Idris Elba is playing Shere Khan in Disney's The Jungle Book, it will be Benedict Cumberbatch who assumes the motion capture role of the deadly villain in Jungle Book: Origins.Shere Khan is the man-eating tiger who likes to torment Mowgli in Rudyard Kipling's classic tale of a young jungle boy raised in the wild by wolves.
