After Thursday's latest John Carter trailer, here are a few new banners for the film - and fans of Edgar Rice Burroughs' books can enjoy a closer look at the film's thoats, Tharks and white apes. The rest of you can find out what the heck a thoat is below.
The film stars Taylor Kitsch as the titular adventurer, Lynn Collins as Princess of Mars Dejah Thoris, Willem Dafoe as the green, four-armed Tars Tarkas and Mark Strong as no-goodnik Matai Shang. And vocabulary-wise, "thoats" are the big ox-looking things they're riding here, Tharks are the aforementioned speccy four-arms, and white apes are very big, very scary King Kong-looking monsters.
John Carter is out on March 9 next, and there will be lots more about it in a future issue of Empire.
