Hold onto your loincloths, the director of The Legend of Tarzan has confirmed thata sequel to the junglist massive blockbuster is in the works. But it'll take a distinct feminist turn if Margot Robbie has anything to do with it.
The actress - who plays Tarzan's wife, BFF, BAE and general love of his life Jane - told Digital Spy that in her version, the sequel would see her as the lead character.
"We're going to call the sequel Tarzana," she deadpanned. "It's Tarzana and James."
Even Alexander Skarsgard, who plays the mighty man himself, was on board with the concept. He agreed that it should be 'James' who wears the dress this time around.
To bulk up for the role of Tarzan, the True Blood actor famously kept to a diet of 8,000 calories per day, also working out up to five times a day over four months of filming to maintain his giant physique. No Photoshopping here.
"I'd need to get a 10-pack though," Robbie added. "A lot of abs to live up to."
What to Read Next
Producer David Barron and director David Yates (who also directs autumn's upcoming fantastical favourite Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) laughed that they'd let Skarsgard off next time.
"I've promised him we can call the sequel Tarzan and the Lost City of Cake," he laughed.
Those guys.
But seriously, there is a treatment for round 2 and, according to David and David, it's properly in the works.
"I'd love to be involved but I wouldn't direct," said Yates.
"We'd produce it together and we'd bring in a really interesting young director."
Place your bets now, people.
The Legend of Tarzan opens today in cinemas nationwide.
