Ladies and gentlemen , I have shocking , shameful news for you : We ’ve just get our first official look at King Kong in Skull Island , and yes , we can confirm he looks like a gargantuan Gorilla gorilla . Still .
Entertainment Weeklyhas revealed the “ first look ” at Skull Island ’s Kong , who will at some distributor point in his cinematic life history will press Godzilla . Unsurprisingly , he looks similar to his appearance atUniversal Orlando ’s Skull Island : sovereignty of Kong drive , because hey : they ’re both elephantine gorillas .

It ’s candidly kind of amazing — telling , even — that Legendary has been capable to reveal Kong double , and both times have people marvel that yes , Kong is still a giant Gorilla gorilla . As if we should almost be surprised by the decision to keep the most iconic simian in movie account basically expect like he has for decade . He ’s King Kong ! Do n’t mess with what works , I guess .
But hey , if you ’d like some actually very interesting perceptiveness into Skull Island ’s approach to re - iterating on the classical excogitation of … a gorilla , music director Jordan Vogt - Roberts in reality has a passel of intriguing things to say about the moment in the movie we see this image of Kong over at the linkup below :
That sequence comes from a period in the movie where you ’re not quite sure who Kong is , what his purpose is , how masses should be perceiving him . Through the folly of man , where our initial inherent aptitude is to assault anything that is not a known measure , both sides jump the gun , Kong and the human , and it sound off off a relatively mussy involvement . At first , of path you ’re going to perceive something like that as a terrible threat and monster — the physicality of him alone .
A huge part of the movie was designing him and create the creature so that when you did see him it sort of dead circuited your learning ability and was divisive to the great unwashed , where certain the great unwashed right away say ‘ That ’s a threat , ’ certain the great unwashed immediately say , ‘ That ’s a God , ’ certain people directly say , ‘ That ’s a saviour . ’ Visually and instantly , what happens when you see this thing towering over you and what is your sorting of excited and intellectual response ?
That ’s deserving checking out a lot more than a impression of a big gorilla , frankly .
