10 Movies Where The Post-Credit Scene Is The Best Part

After the ground-breaking and game-changing efforts of Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis in 2005's King Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World was given a reboot in 2017, and as has been the trend in recent years, was viewed to be at the beginning of a new shared universe.

Kong: Skull Island was decent enough itself, buoyed by a weirdly stacked cast led by the likes of Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, and Samuel L. Jackson, and introduced audiences to this new, juvenile version of Kong. The biggest moment in the film, however, came right at the very end.

With the events on the titular island over, and with a handful of the crew safely back home, James Conrad (Hiddleston) was approached yet again, this time while sat next to Mason Weaver (Larson) in an interrogation room. Thus came the introduction of Monarch.

Conrad and Weaver were told that the Earth never belonged to humans, and that "Kong isn't the only King". Even for those in the audience who didn't recognise the following pictures of the likes of Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidora, the unmistakeable collision course that Kong had just been put on with Godzilla, connecting back to the King of Monsters' movie from 2014, was nothing short of mouth-watering.
