Kaa (2016)

Kaa is the tertiary antagonist of the 2016 Disney live action film, The Jungle Book, a remake to The Jungle Book (1967).She is voiced by Scarlett Johansson.

Role in the film
Kaa first appears when Mowgli stumbles upon her territory, deep in the forest, after he is separated from Bagheera by Shere Khan, where he discovers her shed skin. After climbing into the trees, chasing animals that stole his food, Kaa begins to speak to him from hiding, before eventually revealing herself to him. Luring him in by promising to keep him safe, she hypnotizes him and reveals that Mowgli came to live in the jungle when Shere Khan killed his father as they were travelling between villages, and that Bagheera later found Mowgli. She also reveals to him the power of the "Red Flower" (fire) and its dangers in her vision. During her storytelling, she attempts to devour him, but a passing Baloo spots, attacks Kaa and rescues Mowgli, freeing him in the process. She isn't seen again for the rest of the film, though during the end credits, she is heard singing her song, "Trust in Me".

Trivia

 * Kaa in the 2016 film is a more heroic, or at least anti-heroic, character, as she genuinely helps Mowgli and seemingly only wants to eat him out of instinct.
 * The decision to make Kaa a female in the 2016 film was based on the need for gender diversity within the primarily male-driven cast of the 1967 animated film.
 * Kaa is the second Disney character to be gender-swapped in the live-action version of their film. He was preceded by Jaq, who was a female mouse called Jacqueline in the 2015 version of Cinderella.
