Bow down before your new king, because the full-length trailer forKong: Skull Islandhas arrived!King Konghas been a staple of cinema for decades and is second to none (well, maybe one), but this is going to be the biggest of the big and baddest of the bad versions of Kong over put to screen. This new trailer gives us our best look at the terrifying beast yet.
The officialTwitteraccount forKong: Skull Islandhas been teasing the reveal of thisnew trailerall week. They have been posting choice bits of footage in daily countdown videos, as well as boasting their new slogan for the movie; All Hail The King. Now the trailer is here and we can now see just how different this version ofKing Kongis going to be when compared toPeter Jackson’s 2005 version, which featuredJack Blackand was over three hours long.
Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. are planning to pit this new version ofKing Kongagainst the current, rebootedGodzilla, who made his debut in 2014. This was by far the largest version of themonsterwe had ever seen on screen, so there were reasonable questions as to how King Kong could possibly compete. Well, the studio answered that question when they released a set photo showing a skull that teases the largest version of Kong that we have ever seen. The trailers and other photos we have seen have further cemented that this beast is truly massive.
It is unclear howLegendary and Universalare planning to uniteGodzillaandKing Kongin the present, sinceKong: Skull Islandtakes place in the 70s. Or they may haveGodzillaandKing Kongduking it out in the past as a prequel to the firstGodzillaand a sequel toKong: Skull Island? First, we need to see how this reboot of theKing Kongfranchise goes. If they can match the success of 2014’sGodzilla, which grossed $529 million worldwide, then things should be good to go for the future monster fight.
