Cinemablend: Legend of Tarzan 2 — Where the Story Should Go From Here
Cinemablend | by Dirk Libby The Legend of Tarzan may not have blown the doors off the box office, but it put up respectable numbers for its opening weekend. It’s also getting solid fan support on Rotten Tomatoes. If it can continue on this pace, it’s certainly a possibility that the movie could do the necessary business to still become a success, and if that happens, a sequel is certainly in the cards. Since Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote over two dozen Tarzan books in his life, there are numerous places the character could go from here.
The first film took a number of bits and pieces from Tarzan lore to create its story and added a healthy dose of reality for good measure. While Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan books get progressively more bizarre as they go on (the number of “lost cities” one can find in Africa is truly staggering), there are still some pieces that could be used to build a sequel to this classic adventure story.

Here’s hoping for that sequel – Yates has already said they have an idea…dying to know what it is.
I’m banking on a “Jewels of Opar” themed adventure, complete with La – of course! I can see Tarzan getting approached by archaeologists who have pretty much figured out where Opar must be, and asking for his assistance. Having the expedition succumb to the inhabitants should provide for some pretty fantastic adventure.
Now that we’ve seen Yates do Tarzan right – can you imagine Opar?
Opar was in Legend of but La wasn’t.
