It seems that Tom Hiddleston has enjoyed working in a Legendary production. After doing Guillermo Del Toro’s “Crimson Peak,” the talented and popular British actor has joined “Skull Island,” a sort of a King Kong prequel/origin story that explores he mythical creature’s home.

It has been also been announced that young filmmaker Jordan Vogt-Roberts has been chosen to direct Max Borenstein’s script.

The film has sparked a lot of interest since it was presented at the last San Diego Comic-Con. Universal Pictures will distribute the film on November 4, 2016.

Here is part of the official press release:

“Vogt-Roberts directed and executive produced the Sundance darling THE KINGS OF SUMMER. He has also directed the pilot and multiple episodes of FX’s new series “You’re the Worst” and is set to direct METAL GEAR SOLID for Sony. His other credits include directing the pilot of “Cocked” for Amazon Studios and directing and executive producing the concert documentary NICK OFFERMAN: AMERICAN HAM. He is represented by UTA, 3 Arts Entertainment and attorneys Alan Wertheimer and Andy Gawker.

Hiddleston’s credits include MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE, and WAR HORSE. He is also known for portraying Thor’s nemesis and brother, Loki, in Marvel’s THOR, THOR: THE DARK WORLD, and THE AVENGERS. Upcoming projects include Legendary’s gothic horror CRIMSON PEAK from director Guillermo del Toro, Ben Wheatley’s adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s HIGH-RISE and Marc Abraham’s Hank Williams biopic I SAW THE LIGHT. He is repped by William Morris Endeavor, Hamilton Hodell and Authentic Management.

Legendary’s recent releases include GODZILLA, 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE and the Guillermo del Toro directed PACIFIC RIM as well as the Jackie Robinson biopic 42 and MAN OF STEEL with Warner Bros. In addition to WARCRAFT, highlights from Legendary’s upcoming slate include BLACKHAT and CRIMSON PEAK.”

I am sure that “Skull Island” will be completely different from his only feature film, but here is the trailer for Vogt-Roberts’ “Kings of Summer.”
