As WB and Legendary Pictures look to build their "MonsterVerse" off the 2014 Godzilla reboot and this March's Kong: Skull Island, it seems a major step is taken during the end credits of the latter. What exactly that was, Latino Review founder Kellvin Chavez declined to say but it's probably a safe bet that it alludes to the next Godzilla film, which arrives in 2019 or possibly even the Godzilla vs King Kong feature, which hits theaters in 2020. Either way, stay in your seat while the credits roll, as WB and Legendary steal a page from Marvel Studios' playbook.
KONG: SKULL ISLAND Synopsis
A trip back to the mysterious and dangerous home of the king of the apes, the new film will follow a team of explorers (led by a character played by Tom Hiddleston), who venture deep inside the treacherous, primordial island to find the leader's brother and a mythical serum, confronting extraordinary creatures along the way.
Jordan Vogt-Roberts (The Kings of Summer) directs from a script penned by Dan Gilroy and Max Borenstein, with overall story contributions from Gilroy and John Gatins. The A-list cast includes Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, Brie Larson, Jing Tian, Toby Kebbell, John Ortiz, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, Shea Whigham, Thomas Mann, Terry Notary, and John C. Reilly.
Kong: Skull Island arrives in theaters on March 10, 2017.
Godzilla vs. Kong, is set for release on May 29, 2020.
