Unless they're making a horrendously larger King Kong or a hilariously smaller Godzilla, this movie will be ten seconds long.

Original Kong died in New York. Decades later, a geneticist finds some of his remains and proceeds to clone him using modern technology, but also enhances the cloned Kong in various ways to make him bigger and stronger with the idea to use him against other Kaiju to protect humanity.

I will note though that you might see Kong's stuffed body in the Godzilla graphic novel when they're doing a tour through Monarch's HQ during the 50s:

Right there in the upper left hand corner.

People seem to think all Final Fantasy protagonists are teens.

I don't get that.

Yeah, I don't either.

Apparently even the ones who are stoics in their 20's like Lightning. Only 2 characters are playable as teens 1 time in that entire trilogy. Everyone except for Vanille and Hope in 13-1 are at least in their 20's.

Anyways, on topic I'm not really looking forward to King Kong/other Kaiju crossovers. The idea of King Kong fighting it out with what should be much bigger foes just feels goofy to me. I think King Kong in extended fights with giant creatures at all has always looked goofy to me though. The really overlong Peter Jackson t-rex fights didn't help change that perception.

They started labeling larger examples of known genera as their own kingdom of "we don't even know"...

That makes no sense...

At best she's misinforming the tour group with misappropriation of jargon to try to sound mysterious...

Okay, see, when I heard 'New' Kaijuu line, I was expecting new kaijuu, not 'Lol let's use Godzilla again'.

Not that there's anything wrong with Godzilla per se, but it's really more milking the cash cow than anything.
 
New picture of Skull Island:

That skull looks to be, what? Eighteen feet high? Anyone know the ratio of gorilla skull to actual size?

Based on random picture on the net and with my approximate measure of it, body height to skull height is 6 to 1 when upright, and that's being charitable. Which combined with your measure would put King Kong at around 108 feet tall. Meanwhile:

Godzilla (who uses metric unlike heretical American monsters like Kong) began at 50 meters and has grown to 120-150 meters in the latest version.

Poor old Pacific Snore already has a sequel announced. Didn't you know? What kind of 'fan' are you?

It'll be interesting to see what they'll do with GZ vs Kong, since the modern American Godzilla doesn't have a guy in a Yoshi suit to 'protect' or a monster island to be deployed from. Creating the conflict might take some work, because I can't see Godzilla giving two shits about a giant monkey sexually assaulting someone on the top of a skyscraper.

I'm just sad they're making a Kong movie at all (because we already had one, it sucked, Kong sucks, etc) before we get a Godzilla sequel.

The hell was wrong with Peter Jackson's King Kong?
 
Look pal people like Pacific Rim too, you're allowed to like things other people don't.

But what does rehashing it again after such an incredibly long remake so recently? Maybe Kong went through the Super Soldier program, which is why he is fighting a 150m tall nuclear lizard.
 
Another pic which better shows how big this Kong is going to be.

We can see someone inside the skull's mouth and his height is barely enough to cross the lower jaw. So... what? About a hundred feet tall?
 
And then the plot-twist is: "That skeleton is a Baby Kong!"


*Almost Godzilla-sized King Kong appears*

10/10 Plot Twist, didn't see that coming.
