The first trailer for Tarzan (2025), starring Dwayne Johnson and Scarlett Johansson, shows an epic reimagining of the classic jungle hero. Directed by an action-packed filmmaker, the film combines adventure, survival and emotional depth, offering a fresh take on the Tarzan story.

Dwayne Johnson takes on the role of Tarzan, playing a physically powerful but emotionally conflicted hero. The trailer opens with stunning shots of the African jungle, capturing its enormous beauty and danger. Raised by apes, Tarzan is shown at the peak of his strength, swinging through the trees, interacting with wild animals and protecting the jungle from unseen threats. His primal connection to the land and its creatures is emphasized through stunning action sequences, including hand-to-hand combat against poachers and mercenaries who exploit the jungle for profit.

Scarlett Johansson stars as Jane Porter, a modern-day anthropologist who comes to the jungle to study its tribes and environment. Her character is described as fiercely independent and intelligent, and the chemistry between her and Tarzan is palpable. As the trailer progresses, Jane becomes an integral part of the unfolding conflict and partners with Tarzan to save the jungle from ruthless forces intent on destroying it.

A key spoiler revealed in the trailer is that Tarzan’s heritage plays a central role in the story. He discovers that his family, presumed dead, was involved in a dark secret involving the exploitation of Africa’s natural resources. This forces him to confront his past and his identity as a man and protector of nature.

The trailer ends with a massive showdown between Tarzan and a group of high-tech mercenaries, suggesting a clash between nature and industry. With high-octane action, emotional stakes and stunning visuals, Tarzan (2025) promises to be an exciting, modern take on the iconic character’s adventure.
