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

The aged Jeddak of Helium, Tardos Mors is a king watching his kingdom crumble. His granddaughter Dejah Thoris is his last hope, her capture sending him into profound despair. A man of regal dignity slowly being crushed by grief—his voice trembling as he negotiates with Sab Than, his eyes hollow as he watches his city burn. Yet beneath the sorrow lies unshakeable resolve. When the Tharks ally with Helium and Dejah returns, Tardos transforms into quiet, tearful relief. He is the beating heart of Helium's desperate stand.
