help Kong: Skull Island FAQ
Why does Colonel Packard want to kill Kong?
Kong destroys Packard's helicopters after the soldiers drop seismic charges across Skull Island. Packard treats the deaths of his men as an act of war, while the island's inhabitants regard Kong as the protector keeping the Skullcrawlers under control.
When does Kong: Skull Island take place?
Most of the film takes place in 1973, near the end of the Vietnam War. That setting explains the expedition's military personnel, period soundtrack and Bill Randa's urgency to prove that monsters exist before his Monarch project is shut down.
How is Kong: Skull Island connected to Godzilla?
It is the second film in Legendary's Monsterverse, following Godzilla from 2014. A post-credits scene shows Monarch material depicting Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah.
Why is Kong much larger than in older King Kong films?
This version is designed to inhabit the same film universe as Godzilla, so he is already enormous in 1973. Hank Marlow also says Kong is still growing, setting up the still-larger adult ape seen in Godzilla vs. Kong.
