Predicting How 2017’s Biggest Movies Will End
3. Kong Is (Somehow) Captured - Kong: Skull Island
There's a lot of intrigue about how Kong: Skull Island will conclude, considering that the movie is set in the 1970s but needs to set up 2020's epic Godzilla vs. Kong showdown too, as this will be the last time we will presumably see the character until that movie (unless he appears in Godzilla 2's post-credits scene).
The likelihood is that Kong will end up saving a few of the central heroes (probably Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson), but the military will refuse to acknowledge his heroic work and find a way to capture him regardless, likely launching a massive attack that knocks him out and allows him to be transported to the U.S. mainland.
And there will probably be some sort of post-credits scene that ties it to Godzilla 2, rest assured.
