Up and coming actor Osy Ikhile is set to join the cast of TARZAN. The David Yates helmed project centers on John Clayton III, aka Tarzan, who, after being re-assimilated to society, is asked by the Queen of England to investigate the wrongdoings of a warlord in the Congo with the help of an ex-mercenary. Ikhile will play Kwete in the live action project with Alexander Skarsgard starring as Tarzan and Margot Robbie, Christoph Waltz, and Samuel L. Jackson all on board as well.
Ikhile has previously appeared in action/drama “Victim” and recently finished Ron Howard’s period drama “In the Heart of the Sea” starring Chris Hemsworth and Ben Whishaw.
Ikhile is repped by Curtis Brown Group Ltd. and Thruline Entertainment.
