Even though Fantastic 4 has failed at the box office, that’s not stopping its cast from moving on to bigger and hopefully better things. THR is reporting that the latest actor to play Dr. Doom, Toby Kebbell, has just scored a role in Kong: Skull Island, Legendary and Universal’s monster movie that is steeped in the lore of King Kong.
Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, and Corey Hawkins are starring in the project, which is being directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and sees a team of explorers venture into the mysterious, creature-laden isle that is also the home of the king of the apes.
Derek Connolly (Jurassic World), Max Borenstein (Godzilla), John Gatins (Flight), and Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler) are among those that have worked on the script with Connolly being the most recent.
Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni are producing with Mary Parent.
The movie is scheduled for a March 10, 2017, release.
