David Yates is a ridiculously busy man. He’s currently shoot the very complex and big budget Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beast & Where To Find Them and simultaneously working on post-production on the the very complex and big budget Tarzan. Warner, which is backing both movies, reckons he can do both, but it’s a lot of work for one man to take on.
However with Tarzan coming out first, we’ve now got our first look at Alexander Skarsgard in the title role, alongside Margot Robbie as Jane. There’s no doubt that Skarsgard spent a lot of time in the gym for this one – indeed he had to go on a four month diet and exercise regimen before filming began.
As well as debuting the pics, USA Today quotes Skarsgard as saying on the movie, “This is about a man who’s holding back and slowly as you peel off the layers, he reverts back to a more animalistic state and lets that side of his personality out.”
However, Yates wants to point it it’s not just about the guy, as Jane is “in no way a passive partner to Tarzan. She’s a really strong, assertive, beautifully knowledgeable, very sexy modern woman who can more than look after herself… In a way, it’s a story of two human beings and how they save each other.”
Take a look at the pics below. Tarzan will be in cinemas next summer.

If you were going to put a bet on which actor fame was going to go into overdrive in the next couple of year, Ezra Miller would be a safe choice. He’s already been chosen to be The Flash in Warner’s Justice League project (he’ll first be seen as the character in Batman vs. Superman next year), and now the studio is also trying to line him up for their Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, according to 
Ever since Warner Bros. announced that JK Rowling had agreed to script a film set in the world of Harry Potter – Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – there’s been speculation about who would direct the first in this planned franchise.
After delays and problems over the budget, David Yates’ Tarzan movie in moving forward once again. The likes of Alexander Skarsgard are already onboard, but the project has been searching around for a Jane. Numerous names have been mentioned, but now it appears they’ve found the woman they want, as 
Alexander Skarsgard and Christoph Waltz may have some company in Warner Bros.’ live action take on Tarzan, as 
Harry Potter helmer David Yates is busy putting his live-action version of Tarzan together, but he’s already thinking about what he wants to do after that, as 
Often when a movie gets delayed, it’s a polite way of saying we’ll never hear anything about it again. It appeared that might happen to David Yates’ new live-action take on Tarzan, when in April Warner put the brakes on due to the high budget. Even the production office was shut down, which is usually a sign of impending doom.
