Popular comic character Tarzan returns to the big screen again. Swedish actor 'Alexander skarasagardake' will be seen as the king of the forest in "The Legend of Tarzan", Directed by David Yates. First glimpse of the film has seen recently where 'Margot Robbie' is playing the character of "Jane porter".
Legend takes a different approach to Tarzan than Burroughs’ 1910s writings, the 1930s Johnny Weissmuller movies and other pop-culture adaptations that focused on the man being raised by simians and becoming lord of the jungle. Instead, the movie finds John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke, a decade removed from his home in the Congo and fully entrenched as a British gentleman in 1880s Victorian London, with his beloved wife Jane (Margot Robbie) by his side.
He’s left his African home behind — his early days are seen in flashbacks — but is constantly reminded of his earlier exploits and gets invited back as an emissary of Parliament. While hesitant at first, Tarzan eventually returns to the Congo, old friends as well as Jane are put in serious danger, and his latest cliff-jumping, vine-swinging story kicks off from there.
Alexander Skarsgård said this about the movie,
"It's almost the opposite of the classic tale, where it's about taming the beast. This is about a man who's holding back and slowly as you peel off the layers, he reverts back to a more animalistic state and lets that side of his personality out."
The Legend of Tarzan cast also includes 'Djimon Hounsou' as "Chief Mbonga", 'Samuel L. Jackson' as the true-life adventurer "George Washington Williams" and 'Christoph Waltz' as the Belgian villain "Captain Leon Rom".
The Legend of Tarzan is slated to debut on July 1st, 2016.
