A new photo from Jon Favreau's live-action take on The Jungle Book has been released online and it offers a look at the Mother Wolf, Raksha.
Alongside Raksha in the new image is Mowgli, played by Neel Sethi, who earned the role against over 2,000 other auditionees. Favreau told Empire about the choice, "There was a certain quality we wanted, and we knew he was going to have to carry the film," "So it was going to have to be somebody that had a certain charisma, a certain charm and certain qualities that I remember from the cartoon."
The Jungle Book opens in theaters April 15, 2016.
