  • For most of civilization we believed that life could only exist on the surface of our planet. What else are we wrong about?
  • For centuries, there was harmony. The Titans were the guardians of nature, and the Great Apes became the protectors of humanity.
  • This world has more secrets than we could possibly imagine.
  • [sees the Skar King's handprint on a wall] That's not Kong. That's something else.
  • He won't be alone.
  • A powerful and ruthless ape, desperate to conquer the surface world, led his tribe into war against the one they called the monster who ate a star. [Trapper: Godzilla.] There's more. The war with the apes nearly destroyed Godzilla and after a great battle, he imprisoned the apes in a fiery realm on Hollow Earth. Their false king remains obsessed with reaching the surface. The Iwi call him the Skar King.
  • Trapped within their subterranean realm, the Skar King harnessed a terrible power: the ancient Titan, Shimo. He controls her with pain. Her power covered the Earth in the last ice age.
  • We've made some minor augmentations.

  • Kong can't stop this on his own.
  • [upon seeing Suko] Is that a mini-Kong?
  • The last time those two met up it was almost the end of Kong.
  • Now I have seen everything.

  • Try not to swallow your tongue.
  • That's not just a signal. That's a call for war.
  • They don't have to like each other. They just have to work together.
