Speaking to Entertainment Weekly recelty, Tom Hiddleston explained how Kong: Skull Island is aiming to move beyond the traditional story of King Kong. This new take on the mythology will be both spectacular and epic according to Hiddleston, while keeping certain elements true to the original. Skull Island will take place mostly in the past and will involve a group of travelers and soldiers who travel to an undisclosed location in the South Pacific. Here's an excerpt from the interview:
“I don’t want to spoil too much… But it’s a whole new re-conception of the mythology. It essentially follows a group of disparate travelers and explorers and soldiers who travel to an undiscovered island in the South Pacific. And it’s set in a time period where you could conceive that there are still undiscovered places on the earth. What they find on the island is surprising, and then every character has a very different response to it. It’s going to be spectacular and epic, but also the human drama is kind of interesting as well.”
