'Man is forbidden!' Mowgli gets sniffed out by Idris Elba's Shere Khan in new trailer for The Jungle Book
Mowgli ran for his life in a new trailer for The Jungle Book released on Sunday during the Super Bowl broadcast.
The trailer opened with the boy raised by Indian wolves being chased by a black panther who gains ground and leaps on top of him.
The black panther Bagheera, voiced by Ben Kingsley, stood over Mowgli and said: 'If you can't learn to run with the pack, one of these days you'll be someone's dinner.'

The ferocious Bengal tiger Shere Khan, voiced by Idris Elba, was then seen sniffing out Mowgli during a gathering of jungle dwellers.
'I can't help but notice there's a strange odor today. Man is forbidden!,' Shere Khan said ominously.
Mowgli, played by newcomer Neel Sethi, was suddenly chased by Shere Khan and narrowly escaped.

He then embarked on a journey of self-discovery and along the way was lured by the seductive python Kaa, voiced by Scarlett Johansson, and also contended with the silver-tongued orangutan King Louie, voiced by Christopher Walken.
Mowgli was aided by Bagheera as well as the friendly bear Baloo, voiced by Bill Murray, as he faced dangers in the jungle.
Murray sings The Bare Necessities in the film while Johansson also will sing Trust In Me.

The Jungle Book is due in cinemas on April 15.
The live-animation Disney film is directed by Jon Favreau who recently directed Chef and also directed the first two Iron Man films.
It is a remake of the 1967 animated Disney film of the same name that was inspired by English author Rudyard Kipling's 1894 collection of stories The Jungle Book.
