For Disney addicts it's one of the year's most eagerly awaited films.

And a new clip from the live-action remake of The Jungle Book shows just how impressive the CGI characters will be - not least the Idris Elba voiced Shere Khan.

The jungle cat is seen in a standoff against Mowgli's (Neel Sethi) wolves, as he angrily discusses the dangers of humans, noting - as he tilted his face to show off scars: 'Does my face not remind you of what a grown man can do?'

Fearsome: Shere Khan (voiced by Idris Elba) sniffed out man-cub Mowgli in a new clip shared on Wednesday, introducing audiences to the powerful, human-hating jungle cat

'Just a cub' The young boy could be seen cowering behind his wolf family as Shere Khan gave a speech about the dangers of man for the pack

The clip begins with the massive cat slowly prowling toward the pack of wolves from across the water as he discusses the unwelcome presence of Mowgli.

'I can't help but notice there's this strange odor today. What is it?' Shere Khan says, adding: 'I almost, almost think it was some kind of man-cub.'

Mowgli, meanwhile, can be seen cowering in terror behind his wolf family as Akela (Giancarlo Esposito) - along with the rest of his pack - puts up a show of strength against the fearsome beast.

Terrified: Shere Khan looked menacing from Mowgli's view, crouched behind the pack of wolves

'What is it?' The Bengal tiger teased his audience, noting: 'I can't help but notice there's this strange odor today'

'Mowgli belongs to my pack, Shere Khan,' Akela says to the tiger, who is outraged by the thought of them giving him a name.

He paces back and forth before posing the question: 'When was it we came to adopt man into the jungle?'

And when one of the wolves tries to stick up for Mowgli, pointing out that he's just a cub, Shere Khan becomes furious as he points to his scars as a reminder of what man is capable of.

'Shift your hunting ground for a few years, and everyone forgets how it all works,' the powerful creature begins.

Defensive: Akela (voiced by Giancarlo Esposito) stood up for Mowgli, shouting: 'Mowgli belongs to my pack, Shere Khan'

Dangerous: The frightening beast let out a roar after one wolf tried to assure him that Mowgli was 'just a cub,' showing off scars on his face to illustrate what grown men are capable of

Out for him: The camera sporadically pans to a frightened Mowgli as Shere Khan makes his hatred for humans known in the one-minute clip

'Well, let me remind you how it all works. The man-cub becomes man... and man is forbidden!' he roars.

Speaking about his onscreen animal counterpart, Idris said: 'Shere Khan reigns with fear. He terrorizes everyone he encounters because he comes from a place of fear.'

In a beautiful set of promotional photos released by the studio on Monday, Idris could be seen posing by the CGI tiger.

'Let me remind you' Shere Khan shakes his head in disgust as he comments: 'Shift your hunting ground for a few years, and everyone forgets how it all works'

Not safe: Shere Khan ends his frightening speech with a threat to young Mowgli as he roars: 'Man is forbidden!'

His counterpart: In beautiful promo photos shared by Disney, Idris - as well as co-stars Lupita Nyong'o, Scarlet Johansson, Christopher Walken, Ben Kingsley, and Giancarlo - could be seen posing beside his onscreen animal counterpart

The 43-year-old sported a fitted, black button down and coordinating trousers as he sat on the ground, casually leaning against the ferocious jungle cat.

The stunning set also featured photographs of Lupita Nyong'o and her onscreen alter ego, Raksha the wolf, Scarlett Johansson and python Kaa, Ben Kingsley with panther Bagheera, Giancarlo with his wolf counterpart, and Christopher Walken posing with 12-foot ape, King Louie.

The Jon Favreau-directed picture - which also stars Bill Murray as the voice for free-spirited bear Baloo - hits theaters April 15.
