'THE LEGEND OF TARZAN' OFFICIAL PHOTOS AND MORE

OFFICIALLY, HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ​TARZAN

Directed by David Yates, "The Legend of Tarzan" stars Alexander Skarsgård, who you may recall was Eric Northman on HBO's True Blood. He'll be the one responsible for the nightmares that follow the legendary character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs.  Australian actress, Margot Robbie will be playing Tarzan's beloved wife Jane.  

​​Here's a quick synopsis:
​
It's been years since the man once known as Tarzan (Skarsgård) left the jungles of Africa behind for a gentrified life as John Clayton III, 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, Captain Leon Rom (Waltz).  But those behind the murderous plot have no idea what they are about to unleash.

The film also stars Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson (“Pulp Fiction,” the “Captain America” films), Margot Robbie (“The Wolf of Wall Street”), Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou (“Blood Diamond,” “Gladiator”), Oscar nominee John Hurt (“The Elephant Man,” the “Harry Potter” films), with Oscar winner Jim Broadbent (“Iris”), and two-time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz (“Inglourious Basterds,” “Django Unchained”).  

​ “The Legend of Tarzan” is set for release Summer 2016.
