Upon arrival, they quickly discover that the island is home to a host of monstrous creatures, including the colossal ape, Kong, who reigns supreme. As they navigate the perilous terrain, the team faces relentless attacks from various deadly inhabitants. Their mission shifts from exploration to survival as they uncover the island's secrets and the true nature of Kong.

Ending Explained

In the climax of "Kong: Skull Island," directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the surviving members of the expedition face a final showdown with the giant Skullcrawler, the apex predator of the island. As the creature threatens to kill them, Kong intervenes, engaging in a fierce battle. Despite being outmatched initially, Kong uses his intelligence and brute strength to ultimately defeat the Skullcrawler, saving the humans. In the aftermath, the survivors, including James Conrad (Tom Hiddleston) and Mason Weaver (Brie Larson), are rescued by a military extraction team. They leave Skull Island, having gained a newfound respect for Kong, who remains the island's guardian. The film concludes with a post-credits scene where Conrad and Weaver are detained by Monarch, a secretive organization. They are shown evidence of other giant creatures, hinting at a larger universe of monsters. This sets the stage for future films in the MonsterVerse, suggesting that Kong is not the only titan in existence, and foreshadowing potential future conflicts and alliances.
