The 32-year-old actor is set to star in King Of The Jungle, according to Deadline.
The project is based on an article published in Condé Nast’s Wired magazine about the wild true story of rogue tech magnate John McAfee, creator of the McAfee Antivirus software, who cashed-in his fortune, left civilization and moved to the jungle in Belize. There, he set up a Colonel Kurtz-like compound of guns, sex and madness.
Zac will play journalist Ari Furman in the film, who accepts what he thinks is a run-of-the-mill assignment to interview McAfee, but once he arrives in Belize, he finds himself pulled into McAfee’s escalating paranoia, slippery reality and murder.

It follows a group of students as they count down to opening night of their school’s first-ever production of “High School Musical”. Show-mances blossom; friendships are tested while new ones are made; rivalries flare; and lives are changed forever as these young people discover the transformative power that only a high school drama club can provide.
The series will also bring brand new songs and acoustic “rehearsal-room” reinterpretations of songs from the original High School Musical provide the soundtrack for an unlikely group of theater kids who learn “we’re all in this together” when it comes to pulling off an against-all-odds opening night.
High School Musical: The Series will premiere later this year on Disney+.
Zac Efron is totally down for a The Greatest Showman sequel!
While hitting the couch alongside Charlize Theron, Seth Rogen and Matthew Broderick on The Graham Norton Show, airing tonight (April 26), the 31-year-old actor opened up about the possibility of follow-up to the hit musical.
“Hugh (Jackman) is working on all sorts of things including a one man show. What’s next? I don’t know but I hope there is a sequel,” Zac expressed.
Zac also talked up about starring as Ted Bundy in his new film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile and says: “I had a lot of reservations about playing a killer and in this genre of film. I wasn’t interested in glorifying anything, but I was interested in the psychological aspect of whether he was capable of real love.”
“I was very hesitant to do it, but I knew I could,” Zaccontinues. “I just didn’t want to jump at something that could be seen as a desperate shot at trying to change my image. It was a unique experience and not what anyone expects. It makes me proud.”
