Plot

A new adaptation about Edgar Rice Burroughs' legendary character is back to the big screen in 'The Legend of Tarzan', directed by David Yates ('Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them').

Howewer, it is not longer told as we are used to. This time it won't be focused on the first part of the story when Tazan is a child raised in the jungle by apes, due to scripwriters Start Battie ('Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides') and Craig Brewer ('Footloose') with director, agree in tell the story on a different point of view.

Now we could see that Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgard) is established as a British gentleman in London, and married to his beloved Jane (Margot Robbie). One day, Tarzan (now known as John Clayton III), has to go back to the Congo jungle. He thinks he is going to help develop a job as emissary for the Parliament, but he is actually being fooled by Captain Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz) to fulfill a plot that puts in danger his true home. However, this greedy Belgian doesn't know what the king of the jungle is capable of.

'The Legend of Tarzan' completes its main cast with Samuel L. Jackson, Djimon Hounsou and John Hurt.

Trivia

The movie is based on the Dark Horse Comics.

Alexander Skarsgård spent four months isolated and training without stopping, during which he didn't saw his family or his friends. Thus it ended developing those abs that we can enjoy in a film where he is never dressed.

The villain, Captain Rom, is inspired on Clayton, the villain of Disney's version of 'Tarzan'.
