The first clip from the upcoming Kong: Skull Island that was released this week was an intriguing dialogue scene. Now a second clip has landed that delivers full-on monster action--specifically, King Kong versus a Skullcrawler, one of the movie's terrifying new creatures. Check it out below:

Last week, this amazing Japanese poster for Skull Island was revealed. It follows a stylish Apocalypse Now-inspired poster that was issued for the film's US IMAX release.
Kong: Skull Island is released on March 10, 2017. It stars Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Samuel L Jackson, John C Reilly, Corey Hawkins, and John Goodman.
In a recent interview, Hawkins revealed that despite the scary threat in the trailers and clips, the film wouldn't be entirely dark. "The tone of the movie is the tone of the set," he said, via Collider. "There were serious undercurrents of shooting this film, and then there was shooting with these guys--you've seen the cast--it was one of those journeys.
"We got the opportunity to find the light moments. It can't be all serious at all times, and I think in our darkest moments you have to find the humor and the lightness. Sometimes humor is necessary to get you through. It's honest."
The movie is part of an ongoing monster movie series, that kicked off with 2014's Godzilla. The next entry will be Godzilla: King of Monsters, which is expected in 2019. Last month, Krampus director Michael Dougherty was confirmed as director, with Stranger Things break-out star Millie Bobby Brown reported to be part of the cast.
