            Thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we have finally received our first look at King Kong in the upcoming Kong: Skull Island. The highly-anticipated reboot of the iconic property gives us a new look at Kong and yes, he looks terrifyingly awesome.

            Kong: Skull Island takes place in the 70s during the Vietnam War and stars Tom Hiddleston as a British Special Forces vet and Brie Larson as a war photographer and their group stumbles upon Kong himself while exploring Skull Island. I think the intense image of the creature in action looks even better than I expected. I’m more excited now than I ever have been for the upcoming blockbuster movie directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts (The Kings of Summer).

           

            Kong: Skull Island opens in theaters on March 10^th, 2017. In addition to Larson and Hiddleston, the movie also stars Samuel L. Jackson, Toby Kebbell, Corey Hawkins, John Goodman, John C. Reilly, Thomas Mann and Jason Mitchell. I’m sure we’ll be getting a new trailer soon as well so that’s exciting. Check out the first image of Kong below!
