Making his name with What Richard Did, Hollywood has really opened it's door for young Irish actor Jack Reynor, with prominent roles in The Delivery Man and Transformers: Age of Extinction already under his belt. Now another high profile movie is calling his name, with Reynor cast in Andy Serkis' Jungle Book: Origins. Said to be a darker retelling of the classic tale, a rival to the Jon Favreau directed version released next year, the movie already has an impressive cast lending their voices to the animal characters, with Benedict Cumberbatch (Shere Khan), Christian Bale (Bagheera), Cate Blanchett (Kaa), and Serkis himself (Baloo) all signed on. Reynor will play Brother Wolf, a member of the wolf pack Mowgli (Bad Word's Rohan Chand) is raised by.
No word on when production begins, but Jungle Book: Origins is set for release October 21st 2016.
