Ssince 2014, Legendary Pictures has been gradually building his MonsterVerse. Although he still plans to have Godzilla and King Kong to face each other a second time is also to ensure that the two animals can fend for themselves. In the same way Godzilla is getting a TV spin-off on AppleTV+it is the same Kong with anime series on Netflix.
Like those of 2017 (quite soft) Kong: Skull Island movie, the Skull Island animated series focuses on a group of humans who made the mistake of showing up on the titular island. After saving a girl named Annie (Mae Whitman) from drowning in the ocean, the explorers find themselves on Skull Island, which is full of horrible monsters. But they may end up having a friend in Kong, whose whole problem is fight others monsters as violently as possible.
The beasts of Skull Island seem to have become even more bloodthirsty since the 2017 film, which makes watching the trailer above quite dark and funny as some of them get ripped off or put in harm’s way . As for When this takes place in the MonsterVerse timeline, it appears to be located closer to Skull Island the movie rather than the 2021 movie, Godzilla versus Kong. The Monarch Monster Research Group needs to return to the island and establish a foothold on the island at some point, and this series seems like a way to do just that.
Also starring Benjamin Bratt, Betty Gilpin and Nicolas Cantu, Skull Island East created, written, and executive produced by Brian Duffield (Cocaine Bears, Love and Monsters). He premieres June 22 on Netflix.
