Here’s how you know that Disney is feeling bullish rather than bearish about Jon Favreau’s live-action remake of The Jungle Book, which opens in theaters Friday. In the wake of strong reviews and favorable box-office forecasts, the Mouse House has already granted Favreau the go-ahead for a sequel. It’s clear that the director might have anticipated that, because his Jungle Book leaves room for another chapter. Where the original 1967 animated feature ended with Mowgli being seduced into returning to the “man village” by a pair of feminine eyes, Favreau’s film sends the boy hero (played by newcomer Neel Sethi) back to his wolf pack in the wake of vanquishing the menacing tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba), while his animal pals Bagheera (Ben Kingsley) and Baloo (Bill Murray) look on proudly. For now, at least, Mowgli intends to enjoy the bare necessities of jungle life, rather than try to adapt to living around other humans
