We want to get lost in the jungle with Alexander Skarsgard after seeing these Tarzan pics

Cape Town – Alexander Skarsgard could very well be the Tarzan we’ve been waiting for.

The True Blood star plays the lead in the upcoming reboot, The Legend of Tarzan.

The first pictures of the actor in character have just been released and they are hot!

In an interview with USA Today he revealed that this remake is the ‘opposite of the classic tale.’

He is asked by Queen Victoria to travel to the Congo and team up with George Washington Williams, a civil War veteran-turned-mercenary - to tackle a fierce warlord, who has seized control of a huge diamond mine and is threatening to cause trouble.

Check out a sneak peek of Tarzan and Jane played by Margot Robbie.
