Christopher Walken is King Louie in 'Jungle Book'

The actor will voice the playful yet manipulative king of apes in the new movie.

A few weeks ago, NBC announced that veteran actor Christopher Walken will play Captain Hook in Peter Pan Live, the musical coming to the small screen this December. Now Disney reveals that Walken is set to play another iconic children’s book character, this time in a new film adaptation of The Jungle Book.
