1. "Legend of Tarzan"

As part of Disney's pursuit to develop live-action adaptations of their classic animated films, "The Legend of Tarzan" is set to hit the big screen this summer. The upcoming film will star Alexander Skarsgard and Margot Robbie and will be helmed by the former director of "Harry Potter."

Compared to the classic "Tarzan," the upcoming live-action adaptation will bring more focus to the titular character and the relationship of humans with nature. "Legend of Tarzan" will be on theaters on July 1.

2. "The Founder"

An interesting film expected to release soon is "The Founder," which features the story of Ray Kroc, the man behind the success of famous food chain McDonald's. Michael Keaton will play as Kroc and will be joined by John Carroll Lynch and Nick Offerman, who will play as Mac and Dick McDonald respectively.

Chief of The Weinsten Company, Harvey Weinstein, said, "'The Founder' is brilliant and one of the most controversial films I have had the pleasure to be associated. The story of Ray Kroc should ignite adult audiences this summer and send the incredible team of John Lee Hancock and Michael Keaton back to the Dolby Theater."
