However, he does not know that he is only being used as a means to advance a plan plotted by Captian Leon Rom.

Meanwhile, Skarsgard spoke his thoughts about his role in the upcoming Tarzan movie in Vulture.

"The movie begins in London in the late 1800s, and he's already there, he's been there for about eight years with Jane, and then he goes back to the Congo where he was born and raised with Jane, so at least in the beginning, he's dressed as a British lord. And then a lot of things happen in Africa, obviously," he said.

According to Telegraph, the film is set to be directed by David Yates, who also piloted the four latest Harry Potter films. Yates will be piloting the movie together with Stuart Beattie, Craig Brewer, John Collee, and Adam Cozad, serving as writers.

The filming for the movie began last July. The forthcoming film is set to be distributed by Warner Bros and released in theaters and cinemas on July 1, 2016.
