Kong island

Isla De Craneo, also known as Skull Island is once again the home of King Kong in this reboot to the franchise, which is set in the year 1973 and in the same universe as Legendary Pictures' Godzilla. Scenes featuring Skull Island were filmed in Hawaii and Vietnam. The island itself seems to be larger and more open and mountainous than in past versions, and the skeletons of various prehistoric species, including Kong's, litter its terrain. The island is also protected and surrounded by a perpetual storm system. Unlike the other depictions of Skull Islands, this island has an ecosystem similar to that of Africa or California. There are giant Sker Buffaloes, deer, a type of gigantic arachnid called the Mother Longlegs, and others. This island has a less exaggerated and fantasy-like ecosystem, with many species described as a fusion of plant and animal (known as "florafauna"). Under the island, there is an underground space connected to the island surface and inhabited by gigantic reptiles known as Skullcrawlers. The native human inhabitants are the Iwi, who worship Kong as their god and protector.

By the year 2024, Skull Island's ecosystem destabilized due to a massive storm that wiped out the forests and rendered it a frozen wasteland. The Iwi were wiped out in this natural disaster, save for the orphaned girl Jia. As a result, Kong had to be relocated to his ancestral homeland; the Hollow Earth, where he would establish himself as its new ruler.
