It was almost too much- Tarzan gay kiss was cut from final film edit

A gay kiss was cut out of the final edit of the new Tarzan film - because test audiences were left "perplexed" by it, the director has revealed.
Former adaptations of the story have focused on the main character's developing romance with heroine Jane, but this latest revelation has raised the question: Could he have enjoyed another romance?
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."

Yates also revealed that some passionate scenes between Tarzan and Jane had to be toned down during editing.
He added: "I liked the idea that they could have great sex, and that it could get quite primal.
"The cut we ended up with was more muted, and more sensual instead, even though we did touch upon those primal desires."
