In The Jungle Book (2016) King Louie is a Gigantopithecus, a huge species of ape believed to have gone extinct 9,000,000-100,000 years ago. The only recorded fossils of this creature are the jaw bones. The change was made from the 1967 film because orangutans are not native to India.

Interesting! I originally thought the creators were just being weird by making him so huge.

I always figured the creators changed him because they needed a word that rhymed with "magnificus"
