Walt Disney Pictures signed Willem Dafoe to star with Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins in John Carter of Mars, the fantasy epic to be directed by Wall-E director Andrew Stanton, is based on “A Princess of Mars.”
Dafoe gets to play the role of Tars Tarkas, a fierce green Martian warrior, who’s bizarre among his savage race because he has the ability to love. Tars forms an alliance with John Carter played by Kitsch. Carter is a damaged Civil War vet who finds himself mysteriously transported to Mars. Collins plays the Princess of Mars.
Tars fights battles alongside Carter through the entire series of Edgar Rice Burroughs books, so he will be in all the sequels.
