The Legend of Tarzan picks up where the 1999 feature film left off, with the title character adjusting to his new role as leader of the apes following Kerchaks death, and Jane adjusting to life in the jungle. Rounding out the cast are Janes father, Professor Archimedes Porter; Tantor, the germophobic elephant; and Terk, a wisecracking female gorilla and Tarzans old wrestling buddy.
