Further proof that that the usual four-month summer window for studio’s biggest tentpoles is ever-expanding, this month will see the release of Logan, Beauty and the Beast, Ghost in the Shell, Power Rangers, Life, and more, but what looks to be the most bonkers of the line-up is Kong: Skull Island. Ahead of a release in just under two weeks, the final trailer has now landed for Jordan Vogt-Roberts‘ first studio film.
This last trailer (inspired by The Handmaiden, as one can see below) packs more comedy and action than the previous looks, particularly when it comes to our titular gorilla going head-to-head with the island’s other monsters — all in a vibrant palette of colors. Check out the final trailer below for the film starring Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston, Toby Kebbell, John Goodman, Samuel L. Jackson, Shea Whigam, and John C. Reilly.
Fun fact: WB nailed this piece after I became obsessed with the trailer for THE HANDMAIDEN / wanted a trailer that was heavily rhythmic.
