The Legend begins Summer 2016
Years in the making, the film that originally eyed such talents as Michael Phelps, Tom Hardy, Emma Stone, Lucy Hale and many others for its lead roles, is finally set to release in 2016.
Starring Alexander Skarsgård, who plays the title role, The Legend of Tarzan follows the story of John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke as he lives out his gentrified life in London with his wife, Jane Porter (Margot Robbie). After spending years away from the jungles of Africa, he is returning once again to the Congo to “serve as a trade emissary of Parliament.” Unbeknownst to him, he is just a pawn of greed and revenge, engineered by Captain Rom (Christoph Waltz), a corrupted Belgian captain.
The David Yates directed and Adam Cozad and Craid Brewer written film is set to hit theaters on July 1, 2016. The movie also stars the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, John Hurt, Simon Russell Beale, Casper Crump and Jim Broadbent.
