Kong: Skull island move to warner bros. Suggests godzilla crossover coming

Legendary Pictures is reportedly looking to shift its prequel Kong: Skull Island from Universal Pictures to Warner Bros. in a move that could signal a shared King Kong/Godzilla universe.

"Sources close to the situation say while this is not a done deal, things are moving forward and that the idea is to have future Kong films possibly cross over with Godzilla films, to which WB owns the sequel rights," reports Variety.

"It is unclear at the moment what Universal’s position will be, but I heard the studio move is being done because it is just easier to have all the pieces under one roof, something that Marvel Studios has done with superheroes like The Hulk," according to Deadline. "King Kong is in the public domain, while Legendary got the Godzilla rights from Toho."

Kong: Skull Island is gearing up for production with a cast that includes Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson and Straight Outta Compton co-stars Corey Hawkins and Jason Mitchell. Jordan Vogt-Roberts will direct.

Godzilla director Gareth Edwards remains attached to direct Godzilla 2 after he completes Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
