Willem Dafoe has joined the cast of Andrew Stanton’s new project John Carter Of Mars, playing a green-skinned Martian warrior.

Don't worry he is not a bad guy like he was as the Green Goblin. This time he’s on the side of the good guys, he plays Tars Tarkas a leader of the multi-limbed alien. He teams up with a strange hero, a Civil War soldier who is mysteriously transported to the Red Planet, and finds himself in the middle of an even bigger conflict.

Dafoe's four-limbed Tars, is unique amongst his generally savage people for being able to appreciate the little things in life, like art and love, should provide a heck of a showcase for Dafoe.

Stanton co-wrote, with Mark Andrews, and directing the epic Disney flick, based on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ series of novels. Filming starts next year, with the release coming in 2012.
