Animated series based on Kong: Skull Island and Tomb Raider are in the works at Netflix.
Skull Island will be set in Legendary's Monsterverse, and focus on "a shipwrecked crew, an island of monsters, and one king to rule them all." Tomb Raider, meanwhile, will catch up with iconic adventurer Lara Croft after the events of Square Enix's video game reboot trilogy. It is not expected to have anything to do with the live-action reboot starring Alicia Vikander.
