The next image after the opening credits was going to be Carter lying in his funeral suit in the middle of the desert, just looking like a dead body in a wake and just waking up. And then it was going to go onto the opening credits. Then it was going to be revealed to be Matai Shang in shapeshifting mode. And that story she’s telling, she’s telling the story of the father that this child will never know.Īnd then her dad, Ciarán Hinds’ character, Tardos Mors, said she’s been up too long, she’s tired, let her grandfather have a moment with the child and I’ll put her to bed. It’s Carthoris, this child of Dejah Thoris and Carter. And you were going to realize, Oh my God, it’s the child. And then you were going to reveal she was telling it to her baby. Shorthand, interesting imagery, whether it was artwork or whatever. And it was going to give anybody that hadn’t seen the first movie a little precursor of the history that got you to this movie.

Unbeknownst to Carter, civil unrest between the various Martian races is escalating, with Red Martian princess Dejah Thoris ( Lynn Collins) caught in the middle with him. The profoundly lost human soldier soon finds himself face-to-face with the Green Martians, called Tharks, led by Tars Tarkas ( Willem Dafoe). Upon arriving on Mars (referred to as Barsoom by its inhabitants), Carter discovers that his bone density, coupled with the planet's low gravity, grant him enhanced physical capabilities. For those who haven't seen the original or need a refresher, the gist of the first movie is this: The plot takes place between 18, when Confederate Army captain John Carter (portrayed by Taylor Kitsch) accidentally transports himself to Mars with an alien medallion he finds while fleeing Union soldiers.
