The cast of Legendary's Kong: Skull Island just got a little bigger. According to Deadline, former Rake star John Ortiz and Agent Carter Season 1 regular Shea Whigham are set to star in the upcoming monster movie. There's no word on which characters they'll play, but it's likely they'll join Tom Hiddleston's team of explorers who travel to the mystical titular island.

The movie will now be distributed by Warner Bros, ahead of a future crossover with the Godzilla franchise. 
Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson and John Goodman headline a very talented supporting cast, while Kings Of Summer's Jordan Vogt-Roberts is on board to direct. What are your thoughts on these two new additions? Do you like how the cast is shaping up so far? Sound off below!

A man travels to the mythical island after his brother is stranded there trying to retrieve the mythical serum Titan which is believed to be the cure for all illnesses and diseases. The man must lead a rescue team to save his brother while confronting the creatures that inhabit the island.


Filming on Kong: Skull Island is set to begin this fall ahead of a March 10, 2017 release date.
