![]() So he may have a little bit of maneuvering room during his fight against the White Ape, but leaping to retreat won't be an option. Stanton explains that it's designed to cancel out the one serious advantage Carter has over Barsoom's residents: in the lower gravity, he can leap like Superman, as displayed in the trailer. There’s a subtle sense of anticipation for what these things might be like. They are virtually unique to the Valley Dor, the (disappointingly hellish) Martian version of heaven.

The Jeddaks of the world wear mantles made from the hair of these great beasts as a show of power. They are violent and powerful, they have six limbs that can function as either legs or arms. So what we did is we made the White Apes a formidable creature that you kind of hear about throughout the movie, but you never really witness.
