Kong: Skull Island – Toby Kebbell Provided Kong Facial References

A number of people have thus speculated that Kebbell is also playing King Kong via motion-capture in Skull Island, much like Andy Serkis did in Peter Jackson’s King Kong film.

Kong: Skull Island is not expected to feature a “love story” between its female lead (Larson’s character) and Kong like in King Kong movies past, but it will be important for Kong to be a fully expressive and emotive mo-cap creature all the same.

Kong: Skull Island opens in U.S. theaters on March 10, 2017, followed by Godzilla 2 on March 22, 2019, and Godzilla vs. Kong on May 29, 2020.
