Just days after a newKong: Skull Island IMAX posterdebuted, which paid homage toFrancis Ford Coppola’s enduring classicApocalypse Now, three new one-sheets have surfaced. The first is another IMAX poster, which isn’t exactly a 1970s throwback like the earlier poster, but it does feature the massive Kong preparing to fight a number of helicopters descending on his home, Skull Island. The second poster featuresBrie Larsontouching the massive ape’s face whileTom Hiddlestonlooks on. The third poster is an insane Japanese Kaiju-inspired poster, which directorJordan Vogt-Robertsshared on Twitter, with the following message.
“Can we talk about how great our Japanese Kaiju poster is?”
The one-sheet was officially unveiled in Japan this week, and directorJordan Vogt-Robertsis clearly a fan of this artistic poster that features some of the “Skullcrawlers” we’ve seen in the earlier trailers. We first heard about theseSkullcrawlersduring a clip that aired onJimmy Kimmel Live, a term that was coined byJohn C. Reilly’s Marlow, who admits that the name sounds stupid after saying it out loud. There still isn’t much we know about these creatures, but it seems clear that they have no problem trying to devour anything and everything they can.
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.
Ever sinceKong: Skull Islandwas first revealed in a surprise announcement at Comic-Con 2014, many fans already assumed that it would have some connection to the blockbusterGodzilla. That connection was eventually confirmed, with Warner Bros. setting a June 23, 2025 release date forGodzilla: King of Monsters, which will be followed byGodzilla Vs Kongon June 30, 2025. Producer Alex Garcia confirmed thatJohn Goodmanplays a character from Monarch, the mysterious organization inGodzilla, which has seemingly been keeping tabs on these monsters for years. It is still unclear how this movie, which is set in the 1970s, will connect to the present-dayGodzillastory line.
Kong: Skull Islandfeatures 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. Take a look at the latest posters forKong: Skull Island, as we prepare for the full trailer’s arrival in just two more days.
