Casting Call: Jane (Tarzan)
It’s recently been announced that director David Yates will adapt a big screen version of Tarzan with Warner Bros. Rumors are putting Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Charlie Hunnam, and Alexander Skarsgård as possibles for the lead but no word yet on who could be playing Jane. Below are some British beauties I’d like to see get the part of Jane in a live-action Tarzan film.
10. 
Imogen Poots is the blue-eyed damsel from the Fright Night remake with plenty of credit under her belt. She’s been rumored for many important American roles lately and I think this is another one she’d be great for.9. 
Angel Coulby plays humble Gwen on Merlin. I think her gentle nature and beautiful smile will work for the part of this English rose.
8. 
Sarah Bolger was a tour de force in The Tudors and has recently nabbed the role of Sleeping Beauty on Once Upon a Time. She is another actress who I think has the right persona for this role.
7. 
Sophia Myles charmed her way into our hearts as the doomed princess Isolde and was absolutely wonderful on the short-lived Moonlight. She would bring the right balance of sweet and sassy to the part of Jane.
6. 
Natalie Dormer is a talented and beautiful woman whether she’s blonde or brunette. It would be nice to see her in a softer role than the seductress Anne Boleyn on The Tudors or power-hungry Margaery Tyrell on Game of Thrones.
5. 
Romola Garai is an underrated talent and an expert at period pieces. She has an “everygirl” quality about her and despite that, hasn’t had a good introduction to American audiences yet.
4. 
Annabelle Wallis played the sweet but doomed Queen Jane on The Tudors and a mysterious stewardess on PanAm. Since that show has been cancelled, this role would be the perfect opportunity to thrust her into the spotlight.
3. 
Lucy Griffiths has the face of a Disney princess and the attitude of spunky heroine. She was perfect as Marion on BBC’s Robin Hood and continues to gain fans with her role on True Blood.
2. 
Anna Popplewell is another British beauty who has been sadly MIA since her role in the Narnia movies. She’s no stranger to epic tales and is need of a more grown-up role.
1. 
Antonia Thomas plays the beautiful yet spoiled character of Alisha Bailey on Misfits. She has the face of an angel and the attitude of a spunky young woman; a perfect combination for Jane.

BUT omg the main girl with the big teeth would actually be a great jane imo, i think she's so cute
I hope it goes to Cody Horn or w/e her name is from Magic Mike.

I don't remember if I ever finished the narnia series (for some reason I know I read at least up to the second to last book but I have no memories of it whatsoever?) but I read about what happened with susan and I'm forever pressed
nhf the entire end of that series
Also: replace male Tarzan with a female wild character played by Antonia Thomas and give me a jungle-lesbian love story.
That is the funniest thing I've read in ages, I shall be stealing that as you made me spit tea on my laptop
Good lord, yes. Yes to this so hard.
No a thousand times no
Everyone is trying so hard to make Imogen Poots happen.
All I know about her is that people apparently fc her for everything, and then everyone else gets pissed off about it.
and then there's that graphic, "imogene poots as all the martells" lmao
tumblr ruined her for me
i'd be happy if either got the role
And how unnecessary. Every time Tarzan is non-animated it looks a damn mess.
Although Natalie Dormer maybe, but only b/c she reminds me of Minnie Driver's Jane---but it's still unnecessary.
When I saw that pic of her above I thought it was a really young Kate Winslet tbh
