The new film, The Legend of Tarzan, includes a character named Captain Leon Rom, a ruthless Belgian soldier played by Christoph Waltz, who is now rumoured to be Tarzan's secret love interest.
The film initially included a gay kiss between the lead character, played by Alexander Skarsgård, and Captain Rom, but director David Yates has now admitted it was cut out of the final edit.
Tarzan and Captain Rom appear close throughout the film however, and the deleted scene reportedly showed Rom kiss Tarzan while he's unconscious.
Yates told the Times : "We pared it back because it was almost too much. It was this really odd, odd moment when Christoph kisses him.
"We loved it at the time. But early test audiences were perplexed by it and in the end it just felt too clever and overworked."
The captain allegedly told Jane following the 'kiss': "Your husband’s wildness disturbs me more than I can even express."
