James Wan and Stefany Folsom are Developing a New 'King Kong' Series for Disney+
A ferocious Kong-frontation between King Kong and King Kong is imminent. Apparently, James Wan's Atomic Monster and writer Stefany Folsom are working on a new live-action series starring the famed ape for Disney+. In addition to the upcoming "Monsterverse Kong: Skull Island" animated series from Legendary for Netflix and the 2024 release of Adam Wingard's "Godzilla vs. Kong" sequel for Warner Bros.
A sequential action/adventure drama that revisits Skull Island and introduces a new Kong is described as Disney's "King Kong" TV program. The series will examine King Kong's mythology and habitat's unsolved paranormal mysteries based on Merian C. Cooper's original books and Joe DeVito's new King Kong novelizations.
The dinosaurs and Kong are at war, and Disney has chosen a side. If you're wondering how this is possible since Cooper's 1933 movie won't be in the public domain until 2029, it's because the film, theme park, and TV rights are spread out.
According to Comic Book.com, as cited by Gizmodo, the rights to King Kong seem to come down to the fact that the corporation that created the character owns the numerous depictions of the figure. Additionally, since the novelization of Kong is in the public domain, enabling anybody to adopt him as long as they base it on that book.
The Merian C. Cooper Estate has partnered with the artist DeVito to make new novelizations that will serve as the series' source material and the original book for this new "King Kong" episode. As a result, Kong is available from Universal, Legendary, Warner Bros., Toho, and now Disney.
