The trailer starts off quite similar to previous Jungle Book movies with Mowgli enjoying his life with the wolf pack, but he soon starts to notice he is different.

He is drawn to the village and the people living in it. Eventually, he makes his way down and appears to live with them for a time.

The trailer takes a dark turn as the threat of man gets more and more real for the animals living in the jungle…

Mowgli has to choose which path he will follow – that of a man or of a wolf.
