Skull Island cast: Who voices who in the new series?

What happens when a group of explorers finds themselves shipwrecked on the dangerous Skull Island? They’ll come face-to-face with legendary monsters and, of course, King Kong himself. But will they make it off of the island alive?

Netflix’s new anime series Skull Island is the first official series in the MonsterVerse, so it’s an exciting time to be a fan of the franchise!

So far, none of the cast members from the 2017 live-action film Kong: Skull Island have been announced, but there could be some surprise cameos in the show that we don’t know about yet! It’s possible actors from some of the other MonsterVerse films could pop up, too, but we’ll have to wait and see.
