| King Kong Vs. Godzilla Set Up As ‘Kong: Skull Island’ Moves To WBTwo legendary beasts are about to fight for the title of King of Monsters once more.

| ‘Kong: Skull Island’ Adds Another ‘Straight Outta Compton’ StarLast weekend, Straight Outta Compton took the number one spot at the box office for the second week running, and looking at the schedule of films, it might take it again for a third.

In fact, Hawkins has already been building himself to be a major star even before he landed the role of Dr. Dre by signing on for Universal and Legendary Pictures’ Kong: Skull Island. As the film prepares to shoot for a fall start date, there are new reports confirming that he will be joined by his fellow Straight Outta Compton co-star Mitchell. More on the story below.
