Does your life need more monsters like King Kong and Lara Croft? Well, Netflix and Legendary Television helped you. The streaming giant is teaming up with the TV studio to expand the Skull Island and tomb Raider universes with two new anime series.
Skull Island will be a new chapter in the Legendary Monsterverse franchise and much like the 2017 film directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts Kong: Skull Island, the animated series will follow the adventures of shipwrecked characters trying to escape from the mysterious and dangerous titular island, home to prehistoric monsters, including the titan, Mr. Kong.
Legendary Monsterverse started in 2014 with Godzilla and then Kong: Skull Island Followed by Godzilla: King of the Monsters in 2019. Things will peak in the next chapter of Monsterverse with Godzilla vs. Kong who recently launched a catastrophically jaw-dropping trailer. The new animated series will continue the story of these monsters and myths.
