Margot Robbie to star in Tarzan remake

Australian actress Margot Robbie will reportedly star as Jane in a new Tarzan film, co-starring Alexander Skarsgard and Samuel L Jackson.

Australian actress Margot Robbie has signed on to star as Jane in a 3D Tarzan movie alongside Samuel L Jackson and Alexander Skarsgard.

The Wolf of Wall Street star has gone from strength to strength since starring opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in the Martin Scorsese-directed hit.

The Tarzan flick, the title of which is yet to be determined, is in pre-production and Warner Bros has set July 2016 as its release date.

It will be directed by David Yates, who's responsible for four Harry Potter films.

Austrian-German actor Christoph Waltz is reportedly in talks to play the villain in the Tarzan remake.
