Warner Brothers has set a release date for their live-action take on Tarzan, the story of a boy raised in the jungles of Africa by apes.

The studio has locked the movie in for the July 1, 2016 date, putting it in the same summer as WB’s recently pushed back Batman vs. Superman sequel to Man of Steel.

The movie stars True Blood fan favorite Alexander Skarsgard as the titular vine-swinging man of the wild.

It’s being reported that Christoph Waltz, the two-time Academy Award-winning star of Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained, is in talks to play the villain in Tarzan, Warner Brothers’ new live-action feature based on the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs tale.

Waltz would play Captain Rom, a Belgian soldier who’s out to capture Tarzan in exchange for diamonds.

After working on the last four installments of Harry Potter, director David Yates was looking for some new employment and settled on a new adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough‘s Tarzan. Now that he has gotten the deal that he wanted, Yates is looking for some actors to take on the role and he has already settled on rising stars like Henry Cavill, Charlie Hunnam, Alexander SkarsgÃ¥rd, and Tom Hardy for the lead role.

Vulture reports that Yates committed to the project on Monday and is meeting with the aforementioned names soon. Hardy seems like a shoe in for the role since he had some big roles in Inception and The Dark Knight Rises, but Charlie Hunnam also has a role in Pacific Rim, and Henry Cavill plays as Superman in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, both pics are under the WB name. I imagine that WB wants to get the ball rolling on this project sooner rather than later and might not want to wait on the results of Pacific Rim and Man of Steel.
