While Legendary Pictures has been rounding out the cast for Kong: Skull Island–they recently added Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston and one of the standout young actors from Straight Outta Compton in Corey Hawkins, they still need to replace the male leads after Michael Keaton and JK Simmons exited. I’m told that Legendary is in early talks with Samuel L. Jackson to bring his fire to the role that Simmons vacated. They have a small list of actors to play the one Keaton exited due to scheduling, with John C. Reilly atop it from what I hear, though no offer has yet been made. Tom Wilkinson has also just been offered a lead role in the picture. Jackson isn’t locked yet, but the actor has shown a liking for being part of blockbuster fare like the Star Wars and the Marvel superhero films. If he doesn’t have the greatest gross tally of any actor in film history, Skull Island sounds like the kind of film that could help get him there. Jackson will next be seen starring in Quentin Tarantino’s post-Civil War era The Hateful Eight, playing a bounty hunter with lines as lyrical as the ones in Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.
