'Inglorious Basterds' star Christoph Waltz is reportedly in talks to play another negative role opposite Alexander Skarsgard in Warner Bros 'Tarzan'.
Waltz, who won Oscars for his supporting performances in Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds' and 'Django Unchained', will reportedly play a military figure that crosses paths with the King of the Jungle.
The bigscreen adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs series of novels will be directed by David Yates and is being produced by Jerry Weintraub and Alan Riche, reported Variety.
The project is yet to get a greenlight but the casting is already underway. Yates is also looking for an actress to play Tarzan's love interest Jane in the movie.
According to sources actress Margot Robbie and Emma Stone are being considered for the part but nothing is final yet.
