Legendary already unleashed a new GODZILLA movie on us in 2014, and now they’re giving us a new take on the King Kong mythos with KONG: SKULL ISLAND. Ultimately we’re going to see this new Kong go head to head with Godzilla in 2020, so there’s something to get excited about. Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (who helmed the excellent THE KINGS OF SUMMER) has the reins of the new take on the giant gorilla, which also features the largest version of the creature we’ve seen to date. Set in the 1970s, the new film stars Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, John Goodman, John C. Reilly, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, Tian Jing, Thomas Mann, John Ortiz, and Shea Whigam. Check out the new trailer below (under yet another new poster) and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ “Kong: Skull Island” reimagines the origin of the mythic Kong in a compelling, original adventure from director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (“The Kings of Summer”).

In the film, a diverse team of explorers is brought together to venture deep into an uncharted island in the Pacific – as beautiful as it is treacherous – unaware that they’re crossing into the domain of the mythic Kong.

“Kong: Skull Island” stars Tom Hiddleston (“The Avengers,” “Thor: The Dark World”), Samuel L. Jackson (“The Hateful Eight,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron”), Oscar winner Brie Larson (“Room,” “Trainwreck”), John Goodman (“Transformers: Age of Extinction,” “Argo”) and John C. Reilly (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Step Brothers”). The international ensemble cast also includes Tian Jing (“Police Story: Lockdown”), Corey Hawkins (“Straight Outta Compton”), Jason Mitchell (“Straight Outta Compton”), John Ortiz (“Steve Jobs”), Thomas Mann (“Beautiful Creatures”), Shea Whigham (“The Wolf of Wall Street”), Toby Kebbell (“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”) and Eugene Cordero (“The Kings of Summer”).

KONG: SKULL ISLAND will be released worldwide in 2D, 3D in select theatres, and IMAX beginning March 10, 2017
