Fan Casting John Carter in Jon Favreau's John Carter of Mars

A weary Confederate captain from 19th-century Virginia, John Carter is a soldier who has seen too much war. Bringing a world-weary charm—he is a man who fights because he knows nothing else, yet desperately wants to find peace. Transported to Mars, he must adapt to a world of green giants and ancient cities. His journey is one of rediscovery: of friendship, honor, and love. The betrayal by his brother-in-arms James Powell cuts deepest, and the film's emotional climax rests on loss and redemption.
