The Jungle Book has been an integral part of everyone’s childhood, we have read the book, and we have also seen so many versions of that classic story. We have all seen the animated versions of The Jungle Book but in 2016 a live-action/CGI remake instantly garnered a lot of money, fame, and love. Based on The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, the 2016 movie grossed $966 million worldwide. Directed by Jon Favreau, The Jungle Book got many prestigious awards such as Academy Awards, Critics Choice Awards, and the British Academy Awards.
The movie was so loved that a sequel is also going to be coming soon, director Jon Favreau and screenplay writer Justin Marks will be returning for the sequel. Neel Sethi will be returning for his role of Mogli, in 2021 it was revealed that Jungle Book 2 is in development but as of 2022 any new update is not out, it will surely come through. So, a sequel is coming but what about The Jungle Book 3, well we have the answer, let’s just take a look at The Jungle Book 3 release date and more updates about the anticipated movie.
The Jungle Book 3 Release Date
The Jungle Book is a project that everyone saw fondly, the people who have grown up watching the movies or series watched it for nostalgia and the kids who saw it for the first time watched it because it was actually really amazing. The sequel to The Jungle Book was going to come in 2019 but then Jon Favreau was busy making The Lion King and we all know how great that movie was, a sequel is coming but to be fair any details about The Jungle Book 3 is not out.
Most probably the movie is canceled because as you may The Jungle Book was a live-action/CGI remake of the 1967 animated movie and a sequel of that animated movie came but the third part was canceled. Meaning that there are two animated movies to make a live-action remake but a third movie is not available.
Though we cannot say for sure about anything as any information about The Jungle Book 3 is not available. So, a new movie may or may not come, maybe the creators will bring a new story for the third part even if a third part of the animated movie is not available. If there will be a third movie it will surely be great, let’s see what will be the fate of The Jungle Book 3.
