Disney is reportedly planning yet another live-action adaptation of one of their classic films.  According to insider Daniel Richtman, the studio is developing a live-action Tarzan film.

Wednesday, it was announced that Disney is developing a live-action adaptation of Hercules, and it looks like they won’t stop there. Disney has developed a number of these updated films, including The Jungle Book, The Lion King, Mulan, and Aladdin.

Details on the film are currently unknown as the project is in very early development at the studio other than it’s expected to be a remake of the animated flick.

Previously, Warner Bros. released their own live-action film titled The Legend of Tarzan in 2016, starring Alexander Skarsgård as Tarzan, as well as Samuel L. Jackson and Margot Robbie. The film was based on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ 1912 novel of the same name.

Disney has yet to release an official statement on the film, so until then, fans are left to speculate on who will helm the movie and who will star as Tarzan.

Oh no! I would love it if it followed the Burroughs book accurately, but not the Disney animated version straying so far from the book as it did!!! The animal cgi will be fantastic though, if it’s as good as The Lion King!
Henry Cavill as Tarzan please

Yes we need a film with the original story of Tarzan “tarzan of the apes” dark and savage… I think Disney is able to make it…;) Yes why not Henry Cavill as Tarzan and Jessica chastain as Jane 😉

The Mouse should get his grubby four-fingered mitts off Tarzan. I can’t think of anything worse than a remake of the animated version!

How about Travis Finnel. He made the series of Tarzan in 2003. He knows all the ape moves.

Alexander Skarsgård is Tarzan…. There will never be anyone better…. I adore Henry Cavill but he is Superman (and the best at that), same with Jason Mamoa, love him, but he is Aquaman…. Let the people that have mastered these roles continue to be AMAZING in them.

I think personal trainer Danny Jones (6′ 7″, 275 lbs.) would be perfect in the role, depending on his acting talents. He looks like Burrough’s Tarzan.

Can I ask why not a Disney version? I think the Disney version has a good message but I also think I’m biased on that being black and adopted by white people. I also still really like the movie given it being years since it came out.
