Tarzan (2025)” – A Wildly Reimagined Legend Swings into a New Era

In 2025, Disney and director David Lowery (The Green Knight, Peter Pan & Wendy) take a bold leap into the heart of the jungle with Tarzan, a powerful reimagining of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic character. This fresh take trades cartoon whimsy for emotional depth and stunning realism, blending high-stakes action, environmental themes, and a timeless journey of identity.

Set in the early 20th century but told with modern sensibility, Tarzan (2025) follows John Clayton III (portrayed by Jacob Elordi), a young English aristocrat orphaned in the African jungle and raised by a secretive clan of great apes. Known only as “Tarzan” to the animals who raised him, he grows into a powerful, agile figure — both human and wild, caught between two worlds.

His peaceful life in the jungle is shattered when a British expedition, led by the curious and courageous Jane Porter (Saoirse Ronan), arrives to explore uncharted territories. But with them comes danger — a ruthless industrialist, Lord Hawthorne (played by Cillian Murphy), who seeks to exploit the jungle's resources and capture Tarzan as proof of “untamed evolution.”

As Tarzan struggles to protect his homeland, he is drawn to Jane — not just for her intellect and compassion, but because she holds a mirror to the man he might become. Their bond ignites the film’s emotional core, as Tarzan is forced to face his past and choose his future: stay hidden, or rise as the jungle’s protector.

The film is a visual marvel, with sweeping cinematography that captures the lush beauty and danger of the rainforest. Using advanced motion capture and real-location shoots, Tarzan blends realism with mythic scale, delivering intense vine-swinging chases, animal encounters, and breathtaking battles beneath the jungle canopy.

With a haunting, tribal-infused score and a strong ecological message, Tarzan (2025) is not just a retelling — it’s a reinvention. It explores what it means to belong, to fight for what’s right, and to become more than what the world expects.

In this version, Tarzan is not just a legend — he’s a voice for the wild, and a symbol of harmony between man and nature. And when he roars, the world listens.
