The Legend of Tarzan starring Alexander Skarsgard (“True Blood”) and Margot Robbie (Suicide Squad) as Tarzan and Jane. The story takes place after the original story that we are all familiar with, or so it seems in the newest trailer that was released for the film that will be in theaters on July 1. Now known as John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke, with his wife Jane, the man we know as Tarzan has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament. What he doesn’t know, is that he is being used as a pawn in a deadly scheme by Belgian mastermind, Captain Leon Rorn (Christoph Waltz). John ends up going back to the Congo it seems and all hell breaks loose as Jane is kidnapped and John must revert to his Tarzan self and reconnect with the world he was raised in.
The trailer is definitely promising for an amazing action film this summer and one that will bring the joys of the original novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs. According to sources, the plot line is closer to the actual books, rather than creating a new story. With more action being seen in this trailer, it’s no shocker why everyone is so excited to see this movie (but really what woman doesn’t want to see Alexander Skarsgard shirtless running around a jungle?).
