R2-D2 Previews Star Wars Land?, 'Jungle Book 2' Already in the Works, and More

R2-D2 Previews Star Wars Land?:


Last week, BB-8 was seen assumedly peeking at the beginning of construction of Star Wars Land at Disneyland. This week, the Disney Parks Blog asks what R2-D2 appears to be looking at? If you look closely it appears the droid seems to be peering from behind Streets of America as a crane can be seen in the distance. 

An announcement should be made in the coming days if not next week about the construction officially beginning. As I said last week, maybe just maybe we will finally get a presumed opening date for the new lands inside Hollywood Studios and Disneyland. Stay tuned.

"Jungle Book 2" Already in the Works:


"The Jungle Book" won't open in theaters until Friday, but it appears the sequel is already in the works. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney is already finalizing details on the sequel of the live-action film. It is being reported that Jon Favreau and Justin Marks will return to direct and write the film. 

Favreau will also produce the film and Brigham Taylor who also helped produce the upcoming film will also return for the sequel.

"The Jungle Book" which hits theaters this Friday, April 15 has a celebrity voice cast which includes Bill Murray as Baloo, Idris Elba as Shere Khan, Ben Kingsley as Bagheera, Scarlett Johansson as Kaa just to name a few of the all-star cast. Disney has been striking gold lately with making the live-action remakes of its animated classics like "Alice in Wonderland", "Maleficent", and "Cinderella" already being huge successes. Not to mention the sequel to 'Alice' in "Alice Through the Looking Glass" in May, the re-make of "Pete's Dragon" in August, and "Beauty and the Beast" due out in March 2017.
