The lord of the jungle will return to the big screen courtesy of Warner Bros.

Harry Potter veteran David Yates committed to directing Tarzan on Monday, according to Vulture.

"Yates is meeting with up-and-coming actors like Man of Steel's Henry Cavill, Pacific Rim headliner Charlie Hunnam, and True Blood's Alexander Skarsgård," Vulture reports. "We also hear that the studio is keen to get a meeting with Tom Hardy, who has put in his time on Warner Bros. blockbusters like The Dark Knight Rises and Inception, but less clear is whether Hardy shares the studio’s enthusiasm for that part."

While his opening weekend box office trailed behind Harry Potter in the UK  - by £2m - James Bond’s latest movie defeated the boy wizard over the course of its first week.

Indeed Skyfall had the biggest seven-day haul in British box office history, taking a whopping £37.2m from 587 screens. The film is now on course to be the biggest ever Bond in the UK.

In a statement, Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said “We are very grateful to the Bond fans and all UK cinema audiences for making Skyfall the biggest opening week ever during our 50th anniversary year."

Skyfall opens in the U.S. on November 9, so expect further Bond box office records to topple then.

Chris Tilly is Entertainment Editor for IGN and still hopes to be the next Bond. His idle chat can be found on both Twitter and MyIGN.
