It’s been over 80 years since his cinema debut but, looking sprightly and as strong as ever, King Kong makes a return to screens this week. There have been many iterations of the giant ape over the years but in the movie Kong: Skull Island the overgrown gorilla becomes part of the new monsterverse that was set up with 2014’s Godzilla. Members of a secretive organisation known as Monarch travel to a remote island where rumours of Kong’s battles with the other monstrous wildlife catches their interest. A Godzilla v Kong movie is slated for release in 2020 and some savvy bloggers have noticed that the pre-released credits list include some of the other classic Godzilla monsters.
