There is actually a bit of information about Goodman’s character. Well, a little bit. He’s playing “Randa, a government official who leads an expedition.”<\/p>\n

There’s also a wee bit of plot information here too.<\/p>\n

“The story is about a man (Hiddleston) who travels to the mythical island and home of the king of the apes. A team of explorers ventures 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.”<\/p>\n

The film shoots this Autumn, so we can expect a couple more casting announcements before then…<\/p>\n

Kong: Skull Island<\/em> will be released on 10 March 2017 in the UK. Keep up with the latest genre news with the new issue of SciFiNow.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
