Christoph Waltz is in negotiations to play the villain in Tarzan, Warner Bros.’ take on the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs hero, THR has confirmed.
David Yates is directing the movie, which has Alexander Skarsgard attached as the titular character, a man who is raised by apes.
Waltz will play a Belgian soldier named Captain Rom who attempts to capture Tarzan in exchange for a ransom in diamonds.
The studio next has to cast its Jane, with Margot Robbie and Emma Stone’s names both having surfaced for the part.
