According to the plot summary, Tarzan will have already taken his place in civilized British society as John Clayton III, the Lord Greystoke. He will also have already been married to Jane. He will be invited back to Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament. There, while investigating suspicious activities at a mining camp, he realizes that he has become a pawn in a deadly game of greed and revenge that is being orchestrated by Captain Rom. Tarzan will then team up with the former mercenary Williams to rescue the proverbial damsel in distress, serve justice jungle-style, clobber the bad guys and otherwise save the day. There would be non-stop action to look forward to. With its summer of 2016 release, Tarzan will have to compete at the box office against Independence II, X-Men: Apocalypse, Batman v Superman, and Angry Birds.
