Kong: Skull Island is the highest-grossing movie of the Monsterverse so far, which has made the absence of a sequel all the more conspicuous.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Kong: Skull Island still reigns supreme as the biggest box office hit the Monsterverse ever produced, yet six years later it still hasn't been given a sequel. Kong himself made a follow-up appearance in Godzilla vs. Kong, ultimately losing to the nuclear lizard before teaming up with Godzilla to stop the malevolent Mechagodzilla. Despite his defeat, Kong received much more backstory in Godzilla vs.
Kong: Skull Island's Success Warranted A Sequel Movie The movies of the Monsterverse have grossed nearly $2 billion at the global box office, justifying the expansion of the cinematic universe to include more Titans and cross into new mediums like the upcoming Apple TV+ show Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. However, of all the movies to deserve a follow-up, Kong: Skull Island seems to be the one at the head of the line.
A New Kong Movie Was Rumored After Godzilla Vs. Kong There were rumors of a true Kong sequel at one point, however. As late as 2022 Adam Wingard was rumored to be working on Son of Kong, which was the original working title of the sequel to Godzilla vs. Kong focused on Kong finding other members of his species in the Hollow Earth.
The exploration into the Hollow Earth and Kong's ancestry in Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire could be the explanation for why no Kong sequel has been made: this is actually Kong's sequel. After the success of Godzilla vs. Kong, it's natural to market the follow-up as a continuation of that story, hence Godzilla's inclusion in the film.
