"True Blood" Star Alexander Skarsgard Chosen To Be New Tarzan

alexander-skarsgard-shirtlessAlexander Skarsgard gets our blood racing on True Blood, but pretty soon the sexy Scandinavian will have us swinging from the trees: The 37-year-old actor has signed on to play the Lord of the Jungle in a new 3-D Tarzan movie from Warner Bros.

Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz, are also on board—and, playing Jane, the love of Tarzan's life, will be The Wolf of Wall Street actress Margot Robbie. David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter movies, will helm the film, which will be based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' source material. (How faithfully, we're not sure.)

Tarzan is slated to hit theaters on July 1, 2016
