Over the past few days, Warner Bros. has debuted brieftrailer previewswith new footage of the massive King Kong to prepare fans for the full trailer, set to arrive Wednesday, November 16. Today we have another brief preview, with new footage of King Kong smashing two helicopters together with his bare hands. It seems likely that another preview will arrive tomorrow as well, so stay tuned.
The preview debuted onWarner Bros.official Twitter account for the movie, which comes a few days after a new photo gave us our best look atKing Kongyet. DirectorJordan Vogt-Robertsrevealed this summer thatKong: Skull Islandwill feature the largest version of this King Kong ever seen on the big screen. The director teased that his King Kong will be over 100 feet tall.
It’s possible that they made the ape so large to even the odds, so to speak, when King Kong squares off against Godzilla inGodzilla vs. King Kong, which has been set for release on July 21, 2025. There have been reports that theSkull Islandscript features references to Monarch, the monster-hunting agency that was featured in the 2014 blockbusterGodzilla. Characters such as Dr. Ishiro Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) and Vivienne Graham (Sally Hawkins) worked for Monarch inGodzilla, but it hasn’t been confirmed if they will return forGodzilla vs. King Kongor not.
In the spirit of its worldwide blockbusterGodzilla, Legendary Pictures presents a bold new take on the mythos of another iconic beast withKong: Skull Island, which starsTom Hiddleston. Directed byJordan Vogt-Roberts(The Kings of Summer) and written byJohn Gatins(Flight) andMax Borenstein(Godzilla),Kong: Skull Islandwill fully immerse audiences in the mysterious and dangerous home of the king of the apes as a team of explorers ventures deep inside the treacherous, primordial island. Legendary’s story honors the foundations of existing King Kong lore, but places it in an entirely new, distinct timeline.
Kong: Skull Islandalso features an international ensemble cast including Oscar winnerBrie Larson,John Goodman,Samuel L. Jackson,John C. Reilly,Tian Jing,Corey Hawkins,Jason Mitchell,John Ortiz,Thomas Mann,Shea WhighamandEugene Cordero.Thomas Tull(Godzilla,The Dark Knight,Pacific Rim) andJon Jashni(Godzilla,Warcraft) will produce andAlex Garcia(Godzilla) will executive produce.
