Check out the first trailer for Kong: Skull Island

The Comic-Con audience got a first look at the upcoming King Kong reboot titled Kong: Skull Island. The movie is due for a 2017 release and is directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts. Though the director is relatively unknown, the cast looks impressive with big names like Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, John Hiddleston and Brie Larson.

The tone in the trailer is a lot more dire and ominous than we've seen for a Kong movie in the past, and the beast itself is way larger than he's even been on film before. That may not come as a surprise, though, as it's been confirmed that the King of the Apes is to battle Godzilla in the future.
