Alexander Skarsgård (Eric Northman) will officially be playing Tarzan! After many months of announcements and other rumors relating to the film, Warner Bros has given the green light for pre-production to begin. The Wrap reports that Alexander will be playing the title role while actress Margo Robbie will be playing his love interest Jane Porter.
The last time we heard anything about the production was almost a year ago in April 2013. Skarsgård acknowledged that while the script was very good, it was not easy for such a huge film to get off the ground.
Harry Potter director David Yates will be directing the film and joining Alexander and Margo on screen will be Christoph Waltz and Samuel L. Jackson.
Tarzan is slated to hit theaters on July 1, 2016.
Congratulations Alexander!
