Jon Favreau, who directed the first (and best) Iron Man movie turned out to be a great director. He has directed a lot of great movies, and in 2016, he took on one of the classic cartoons: Jungle Book. And it was amazing. The 3D/ IMAX directed movie made you feel like you were a part of it, and it did justice in so many ways.

And the movie was so great and it did amazing at the Box Office, that the people asked for a second Jungle Book movie. And it was only a matter of time before he turned to another classic.
