Man, Infinity War sure could use a few more characters, right? There really aren’t enough superheroes in this movie yet. What a tiny, tiny cast list. Okay, yes, this is sarcasm — Infinity War will feature more superheroes battling to save the world than can fit in a single shot… aaand we just got the news that it’ll feature two more.

On the heels of last week’s Aladdin update comes another exciting bit of casting news for another big Disney remake.

The CGI in Jon Favreau’s adaptation of The Jungle Book looks incredible — though it is a little strange to see the animals actually speak, as you can in the first clip from Disney’s epic new adventure. The sneak peek introduces us to the fearsome and ferocious tiger Shere Khan, voiced by Idris Elba, and while it’ll take some adjusting to hear these famous voices coming out of the mouths of gorgeous animals, Elba is inarguably the perfect voice for Khan.

Tickets for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be available on February 29 (that’s tomorrow, FYI), with the movie hitting theaters about a month later, on March 25. Disney is banking on similarly huge business for Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book, as the studio has officially launched ticket pre-sales as of today, even though the film doesn’t hit theaters for another two months. If that isn’t enough to get your attention, then maybe this new TV spot will.
