TARZAN 2026

β Story
The film reimagines Tarzan not as a mythic hero from birth, but as a survivor shaped by tragedy.
After a plane crash leaves young Chris Hemsworth orphaned deep in the Congo, he is taken in by a tribe of Mangani apes who raise him as their own.
Years later, as a grown man caught between two worlds, Tarzan is forced to confront a ruthless mining corporation whose operations threaten the jungleβs last untouched sanctuary β and the only family he has ever known.
His journey becomes one of identity, loyalty, and the cost of reclaiming a homeland.
