In all honesty, if they do go with Son of Kong, perhaps the story will involve Kong finding an orphaned member of his kind in the Hollow Earth and trying to find more of his kind.

Yeah, that would make sense.

Yeah, it'll have to be only loosely related to the original Son of Kong, just due to the very different established stories. Still, it'll be nice to see that concept again at all, even if I'd really like to see a full remake like Kong 2005.

I think enough remakes of Kong have been made as it is, IMO this new direction taken since the 2017 film has been for the best instead of rehashing the original film over and over (and much better than how King Kong Escapes and King Kong Lives did it). Gives us a chance to see plotlines similar to the ones used in the comic books and novelizations that deal with other things than Kong being taken from Skull Island and dying.

That's what I'd figure as well. I imagine they'll introduce elements from King Kong Escapes too. Another mad scientist trying to harvest the earth's core for a rare element with a mechanized kaiju might be a bit of a retread, but I imagine at least the Gorosaurus could show up and they might just reveal Dr. Serizawa jr is alive to slot him in Dr. Hu's role.

I really enjoyed this one, so I'd be happy to see Wingard direct another kaiju flick.

I wonder if there are plans for more Godzilla, or if Legendary didn't renew their agreement with Toho.

The original movie has been remade all the time. Son of Kong? Not so much.

This isn't to say I don't like new stories as well, I'd just like to see a remake at some point down the line.

I do hope Toho and Legendary work out at least a couple more movies.

I'd like to see them use Varan. Even Toho hasn't used him since, what, that ten second cameo in Destroy All Monsters?

[up] Yeah, a lot of monsters could use more love in general, like Gorosaurus and the aforementioned Varan. Others could include Ebirah, Hedorah and even Gabara.

Too early to cheer because it still doesn't say whether Toho has pulled the plug on their monsters.

The funny thing is that while the original movie was called Son of Kong, it was never really confirmed whether or not Kiko (the eponymous ape) was really related to the original Kong. That was just Carl Denham making a guess as to Kiko's relation to Kong.

Hopefully this one will end on a lighter note than the original Son of Kong movie.

Funny how for how much the original Son of Kong gets flack and is usually forgotten about, it left its mark on the mythos since Skull Island is only destroyed in that film at the end and has been consistently destroyed in a lot of adaptations ever since.

And yeah, pls let Kiko live and have adventures with his human friends in a series styled after Kong: The Animated Series

Kiko's presence pretty much confirms that Kong isn't the last of his kind in the original film regardless of whether or not his actually his child. Everyone just assumed he was the only giant ape because we only saw him but we also only saw one of each other animal as well. It wasn't until later films came along where it became canon.

Does anyone know if Kaylee Hottle has any Pacific Islander heritage? I ask since she's playing a character whose origin is in the South Pacific.

Hottle is half-white, half-Korean. The Iwi in Kong: Skull Island were mostly played by actors of East Asian and Southeast Asian descent.
