Tarzan clearly is "no normal man," as Jane (Margot Robbie) says in the trailer. This is made evident through the character's primal yell, catlike agility and washboard abs.

The True Blood star bulked up for the role, which he said he accomplished by lifting weights and eating chicken.

Tarzan, also starring Christoph Waltz and Samuel L. Jackson, opens July 1, 2016.
