King Louie’s not an orangutan
One of the most impressive characters in this new version of The Jungle Book is King Louie, a giant ape voiced by a giant of the big screen: Christopher Walken.
An orangutan in the original, in the 2016 version King Louie is a gigantopithecus, and ancestor of the orang-utan that is long extinct, but was chosen for dramatic effect.
