“Kong: Skull Island” is a reboot of the “King Kong” franchise and will be the second movie in the new Godzilla-Kong series (which started with 2014’s “Godzilla”). Set sometime in the 1970s, the movie features a team of explorers led by Captain James Conrad (Tom Hiddleston) and Weaver (Brie Larson) who travel to an uncharted island in the Pacific. There, they encounter an indigenous tribe, gigantic animals and the mythical Kong. The movie will also feature the biggest American on-screen adaptation of King Kong: At almost 100 feet tall, this new Kong literally dwarfs Peter Jackson’s 25-feet giant ape from 2005’s “King Kong.”
