On June 22nd, Legendary Entertainment and the Netflix streaming service will be bringing us “a new epic chapter in Legendary’s Monsterverse franchise” in the form of a Kong animated series called Skull Island. Two weeks out from the show’s premiere, a full trailer has been released online and can be seen in the embed above.

Brian Duffield, writer of the genre films The Babysitter, Spontaneous, Underwater, and Love and Monsters, is a writer and executive producer on Skull Island. The animated series will center on a group of explorers that find themselves on a collision course with strange beasts, terrifying Titans and the most mysterious island the world has ever known!

We had previously heard that the leads of the show are shipwrecked characters who are desperate to survive the most dangerous place on Earth, the island that is home to colossal monsters, including the iconic “megaprimatus” Kong.

The Owl House ended with season 3 after Disney surprisingly canceled the show in spite of its critical acclaim, and viewers were left wondering why it wasn't renewed. The animated series premiered on Disney Channel in January 2020. Over the course of its three seasons, The Owl House follows Luz (voiced by Sarah-Nicole Robles) when she ends up in the Demon Realm. While she tries to find her way back home, Luz resides at the Boiling Isles. She trains as a witch under Eda Clawthorne (Wendie Malick), a witch who also goes by the name The Owl Lady.

While Luz trains with Eda at The Owl House, she and her friends work together against the dangerous Belos (Matthew Rhys) and the Collector (Fryda Wolff) to save the Boiling Isles. Found family is a huge theme throughout The Owl House. Multiple lead characters in The Owl House are part of the LGBTQ+ community,...

A couple years ago, it was announced that Brian Duffield, writer of the genre films The Babysitter, Spontaneous, Underwater, and Love and Monsters, would be writing and executive producing the Kong animated series Skull Island for Legendary Entertainment and the Netflix streaming service. Now Netflix has confirmed that the show will be available to watch as of June 22nd – and they have unveiled a teaser trailer to give us an idea of what this series has in store for us. You can check it out in the embed above.

Skull Island is said to be “a new epic chapter in Legendary’s Monsterverse franchise”. In addition to the film Kong: Skull Island (watch it Here), the Monsterverse also includes 2014’s Godzilla, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Godzilla vs. Kong.

Netflix is headed to “Skull Island” for a brand new animated series that takes place within Legendary’s Monsterverse, and the official teaser trailer has been unleashed today.

Many Monsters. One King. The all-new animated series from Legendary Television is set to make its global debut on June 22, exclusively on Netflix. Watch the trailer below.

“Skull Island” takes viewers on a thrilling adventure as a group of kind-hearted explorers rescues Annie (Mae Whitman) from the ocean, unaware that their act of heroism will lead them to the treacherous Skull Island. This enigmatic place is home to bizarre creatures and terrifying monsters, including the mighty titan himself, Kong.

The series boasts an impressive ensemble cast, with Nicolas Cantu lending his voice to the protagonist, Charlie. Joining him are talented voice actors Mae Whitman as Annie, Darren Barnet as Mike, Benjamin Bratt as Cap, and Betty Gilpin as Irene. Together, they bring...

The finale of The Owl House season 3 is set to release on April 8, meaning that the show must end every important storyline if not every storyline, it has been building up to. While this may be particularly challenging given the compressed nature of season 3, it’s still more than possible for the show to have a strong landing for its final episode. Admittedly, this means that The Owl House will likely have to prioritize its most important plot lines, following through on the most imperative threads and those that have been building for several years. Hopefully, the ones chosen will be able to give the series a memorable exit.

Throughout its three seasons, The Owl House tells the story of Luz Noceda (Sarah-Nicole Robles), a human girl who found her way to the Demon Realm and made her home on the Boiling Isles. She fell under the tutelage of Eda...

The Owl House returned on January 21, with the second special episode of Season 3, "For The Future," and, needless to say, there was a lot that happened . Luz (Sarah-Nicole Robles) and her friends returned to the Boiling Isles with Camilla (Elizabeth Grullon), only to discover that the Collector (Fryda Wolff) has been turning its inhabitants into puppets and using them as literal playthings. All while King (Alex Hirsch) has been acting as his best friend and carefully trying to reason with them. But one of the most exciting things that this episode gave its viewers was the long-awaited reveal of Luz's palisman.

While it's lucky that The Owl House can produce a season 3 after its cancellation, the differing format is wasting the show's best characters. This is especially noticeable given that season 3 only has three episodes. Instead of the typical 19-21, to wrap up character and narrative arcs, it took two full seasons to prepare for. As a result, the show had to condense much of its story and characters, which may very well limit The Owl House and its characters from living up to their full potential.

The imbalance between seasons 1 and 2 and the time season 3 has available is particularly strained, considering that the later season has so much ground to cover. The first two seasons introduced Luz Noceda (Sarah-Nicole Robles) to the Demon Realm and The Owl House's eclectic cast. She began her quest to become a witch under the tutelage of Eda the Owl Lady (Wendie Malick) while...

Forget Commander Shepherd; on March 21, players will be introduced to Scott and Sarah Ryder, the dual protagonists set to headline Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Voiced by Tom Taylorson and Fryda Wolff, respectively, in order to get fans up to speed with their sibling rivalry, BioWare has rolled out a silly, light-hearted new video designed to highlight the budding chemistry between Andromeda‘s leading stars. There’s no actual gameplay to speak of – you’ll find your thirst for new footage suitably quenched right here – but it’s a welcome primer for BioWare’s spacefaring sequel nonetheless.

One week ago today, producer Adi Shankar released the latest entry in his Bootleg Universe short film collection, Power/Rangers, which ended up being ensnared in legal complications and was removed for a short period of time, before returning online over the weekend. Today, Adi Shankar keeps his Bootleg Universe going by tackling the James Bond franchise with his new fan film In Service of Nothing. The short is actually presented as an animated pre-visualization for a live-action movie, set in the present day but following Sean Connery's 007, with Christopher Gee voicing/impersonating Bond, decades after he retired and MI6 forgave his transgressions. Here's how the short is described on Adi Shankar's YouTube page.

"In this Unauthorized "Bootleg Universe" One-Shot, an aging James Bond struggles to find his place in a self absorbed world without boarders, where service to one's nation is an antiquated concept. Presented to you as a pre-visulation motion storyboard.
