Personally, I would have switched Bagheera and Shere Khan's actors. Sure, both actors will be great at the roles they have, but I always thought Idris Elba would fit the strict but well meaning personality that Bagheera is known for, and Ben Kingsley would be better suited for George Sanders' Shere Khan.

Also, anyone got any idea what accent Idris Elba is using for Shere Khan? Is he going to use an Indian variation of his Mandela voice to fit the setting of the story or is he using his normal voice with a Cumberbatch-type flair to it in order to sound more like the 67 version?
