The Legend of Tarzan is set to hit the big screen this summer as Alexander Skarsgård takes on this iconic role for the very first time.
The Legend of Tarzan
The Legend of Tarzan is based on the Tarzan stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs and has been adapted for the big screen by Adam Cozad and Craig Brewer. The movie also sees David Yates back in the director's chair.
Yates is no stranger to the big budget blockbuster with Harry Potter films under his belt, but this is his first feature film since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 back in 2011.
Skarsgård is set to take on the role of Tarzan and is joined on the cast list by Margot Robbie, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz, Jim Broadbent, and Djimon Hounsou.
It has been years since the man once known as Tarzan (Skarsgård) left the jungles of Africa behind for a gentrified life as John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, with his beloved wife, Jane (Robbie) at his side.
Now, he has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament, unaware that he is a pawn in a deadly convergence of greed and revenge, masterminded by the Belgian, Leon Rom (Waltz). But those behind the murderous plot have no idea what they are about to unleash.
The Legend of Tarzan is released 8th July.
