Fun Facts

 * The tagline to this film is "Hail to the King".


 * It's hard to imagine that the people on the island would have such a difficult time in dealing with Kong. After all, he's going up against the combined forces of Nick Fury, Loki Laufeyson, Captain Marvel, and Rhomann Dey - all of whom are characters featured in another crossover franchise - the Marvel Cinematic Universe.


 * Actor Corey Hawkins is also known for playing a character named Heath on AMC's The Walking Dead.


 * Actor John Goodman is no stranger to "monster" fare. He was the voice of James P. "Sulley" Sullivan - a large blue-furred monster in Monsters, Inc. in 2001 and he played a crack-pot named Howard Stanton in 10 Cloverfield Lane, which is a spin-off of 2008's Cloverfield, which featured a giant monster.
