We’re still flying high on the news that King Kong vs. Godzilla will become a reality, but right now we have some more casting news on the latest Kong project, Kong: Skull Island. Deadline is reporting that Eugene Cordero (Ghostbusters, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates) has booked a role in Legendary Pictures’ next big monster bash.
He joins the previously announced Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, John Goodman, Samuel L. Jackson, John C. Reilly, Toby Kebbell, John Ortiz, and Shea Whigham, who also star in the project, which is being directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts from a script by John Gatins and Max Borenstein. Producing are Legendary’s John Jashni and Thomas Tull as well as Mary Parent.
The film is about a man (Hiddleston) who travels to the mythical island and home of the king of the apes. A team of explorers venture inside what they find to be a treacherous island. The story is said to honor the King Kong lore but in a different time period.
