Disney’s Tarzan casting candidates (past and present)

Here are the potential casting candidates for the cyberpunk reboot to Disney’s version of Tarzan. 

The Present - Human Heroes and Anti Villains
Daniel Frogson as the main Tarzan (aka Dennis Cave) - The main Tarzan’s story began when he, his mum and dad, departing from Bristol (via various places), shipwrecked into the heart of the Mayombe rainforest following a terrible boat crash. Sadly, the baby lost her and him to the Mangani raids but was rescued by a shellshocked Mangani, who adopted him instead. 
Ava Marilyn as Jane Pallas Porter - Tarzan's American girlfriend and ultimately wife.
Jade Jordan as Robin Doyle - After days of sailing through dangerous seas, Robin got shipwrecked into the Mayombe rainforest with her young daughter Liz. 
Lara McDonnell as Liz Doyle - A castaway named Liz Doyle got shipwrecked into the Mayombe jungle along with her mum Robin. 
Samuel Joslin as Hieronymus Holt - A sly real estate agent, Hieronymus and his twin sister Sarah Holt deal with semi-seedy outlets. 
Darci Shaw as Sarah Lyle Holt - 
Paul Mescal as Roland Shiels - Roland is Vera Parker’s moody main childhood friend (and later husband), growing up with a gang of apes after his shipwrecked parents, themselves family friends of Ray Parker and Ashley Brennan, were killed by loggers when he was just a toddler. 
Pádraic Delaney as James Parker - the wild man uncle of Vera Parker. 
Hazel Doupe as Vera Jane Parker - Along with a childhood friend who lost his parents to loggers, she lives with her uncle James near the bustling town of Conkouati. 
Landon Liboiron as Derrick Carne - Derrick Carne is Hieronymus Holt’s best friend alongside his own wife Kathleen Carne.
Lucas Neff as Bruce Bayliss - 

The Present - Tarzan’s animal friends and rivals
Shelby Simmons as the voice of Tork (aka Torkina, Tarzan’s tomboy gorilla friend) - Tork is Mumka’s daughter.  
Brandon T. Jackson as the voice of Dungy (Tarzan’s male gorilla friend) - Dungy is Matt and Carla’s surviving younger son, whose dead older brother was Kelvin. 
Buddy Lewis as the voice of Muyo - A vagrant gorilla stranger.
Katt Williams as the voice of Matt - Matt is Dungy’s stern dad and Carla’s unhelpful silverback mate. 
Octavia Spencer as the voice of Carla - Carla is Matt’s erstwhile mate, the main Tarzan’s calm mentor and Mungo’s mum. 
Matt Cornett as the voice of Tantor - Tantor is a forest elephant with a fear not of almost anything including germs but, rather more understandably, of serial loggers, because both of his estranged parents got shot by them when he was a preteen. In order to make his life around, he does save the day in some situations. He’s also one of the main Tarzan’s regular male animal friends, besides Manu and Flynt. 
Sarah Paulson as the voice of Mumka - Terk’s mother. 
Jacob Batalon as the voice of Flynt - Dungy’s vagrant best friend and Torkina’s boyfriend (later mate), who is also one of Tarzan’s fellow regular male friends, besides Manu the mandrill and Tantor the forest elephant. 
Tony Revolori as the voice of Manuel ‘Manu’ - Manu the mandrill is one of Tarzan’s main animal friends, who is a part of a large mandrill crowd led by his maternal grandpa Francisco. 

The Present - Human Villains 
Sam McCarthy as Eric Brooks - Eric Brooks is a power-hungry villain working against the well-intentioned wishes of Hieronymus Holt and his twin sister Sarah Lyle. This is in contrast to his partner in crime, Mary Brooks, who often works more actively outside the Elpido Manufacturing Inc. headquarters. 
Kailey Albus as Mary Brooks - Mary Brooks is a dauntingly adventurous spy.

The Past - Human Heroes 
Dylan Moran as Ray Parker - Ashley’s husband, James’ younger brother and Vera’s father. 
Rainbow Sun Francks as Wesley Wrightson - Peter’s birth dad, who was a nerd, who’d long been trekking for quite a long while. Knowing that he and his wife were on their last legs, they had enough time to realise that their bereaving baby son was to be nursed for a couple of years by gorillas rather than just starving to death. 
Kate Walsh as Mary Jane Wrightson - Mary Jane Simmons was the Gorilla Tarzan’s birth mum.
Sharon Horgan as Ashley Brennan Parker - Vera Parker’s auburn-haired mum, who died sick after they got shipwrecked into somewhere near the city of Pointe Noire. 

The Past - Tarzan’s animal friends and rivals 
Oliver Alexander as the voice of Manu (youth) 
Brock Brenner as the voice of Flynt (Tork’s boyfriend, youth) 
Jeremy Maguire as the voice of Tantor (youth) 
D.L. Hughley as the voice of Zugor - Carla’s estranged dad and Matt’s father in law. 
Julio Cedillo as the voice of Francisco - Manu’s head scratching sick maternal grandpa.
