It's safe to say that the second official trailer of The Legend of Tarzan shows an epic update from the Disney animated film.

The new trailer featuring Alexander Skarsgard as Tarzan features a somewhat dark twist to one of the most beloved characters of multiple generations.

In The Legend of Tarzan it looks like the king of the jungle will be getting his hands dirty as he sheds his life in London to stop some sketchy happenings in his old dwellings.

A mining encampment puts the jungle's inhabitance in danger and there is only one man who can save them.

"From Warner Bros.

Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures comes the action adventure 'The Legend of Tarzan,' starring Alexander Skarsgard (HBO's "True Blood") as the legendary character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs," according to the caption of Warner Bros. YouTube post.

"The film also stars Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson ('Pulp Fiction,' the 'Captain America' films), Margot Robbie ('The Wolf of Wall Street'), Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou ('Blood Diamond,' 'Gladiator'), Oscar nominee John Hurt ('The Elephant Man,' the 'Harry Potter' films), with Oscar winner Jim Broadbent ('Iris'), and two-time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz ('Inglourious Basterds,' 'Django Unchained')."
