June 2025 – Two apex predators. One island. No survivors.
Legendary Pictures has just dropped the explosive teaser trailer for KONG vs. XENOMORPH QUEEN: Primal War on Skull Island (2025) — an unexpected crossover event that brings together two of the most terrifying cinematic creatures in history. The trailer teases a brutal, primal clash between King Kong, the ruler of Skull Island, and the deadly Xenomorph Queen, last seen in the Alien franchise.
🦍👽 Plot Overview
After a secret Weyland-Yutani research vessel crashes off the coast of Skull Island, a hidden payload of Xenomorph eggs is unleashed into the heart of the jungle. As the alien species rapidly multiplies and begins overtaking the island’s ecosystem, Kong is forced to defend his domain against the invasive terror.
But what begins as survival quickly escalates into a full-blown war between species, culminating in a final confrontation with the towering Xenomorph Queen, who seeks to make Skull Island her hive.
