The legendary Cthulhu creature will fight King Kong from the 2005 film.
Who is Universal Studios King Kong?
King Kong is a giant ape monster who appeared in the 2005 Universal Pictures film King Kong. Peter Jackson's film marked the second live-action remake of the 1933 classic, and unlike the 1976 remake, retained the 1933 setting and many of the same characters from the original.
The last of a species of huge primates called Megaprimatus kong which inhabited the isolated Skull Island, Kong was the object of worship by the derelict human tribe still inhabiting the ruins of a once-great civilization on the island. Kong lived a solitary and lonely existence on the island, faced with a multitude of other colossal prehistoric beasts who were far more violent than him. When a film crew arrived on Skull Island in 1933 aboard the tramp steamer, the Venture, the natives captured the crew's leading lady Ann Darrow and offered her as a sacrifice to Kong. Kong accepted the offering and carried Ann off with him into the jungle, with screenwriter Jack Driscoll and the rest of the crew in pursuit. Initially frightened of the huge ape, Ann took an opportunity to escape only to be menaced by a Foetodon and then a family of Vastatosaurus rex. Kong came to Ann's rescue, fighting a grueling battle against the three V-Rexes all while trying to keep Ann away from their maws. Kong succeeded in killing all three, and Ann finally came to sympathize with Kong and allowed him to take her to his mountain lair. There he was attacked by a flock of Terapusmordax, giving Jack the opportunity to rescue and escape with Ann back to the native village. Director Carl Denham had no intention of leaving empty-handed and allowed Kong to breach the village, after which he was subdued by smoke bombs. Denham brought Kong back to New York City as the centerpiece for a Broadway show, but the ape broke free of his chrome steel restraints in a fiery rage, then tore his way through Manhattan before Ann came to him in Central Park and calmed him down. When the Army arrived to kill him, Kong took Ann to the top of the Empire State Building where he was confronted by several biplanes. Before making his final stand, Kong set Ann down and fought the planes with all of his might. The machine gun fire was too much for Kong, who succumbed to his wounds and plummeted off the skyscraper, much to Ann's sorrow.
Who is Cthulhu?
Cthulhu is fictional cosmic entity created by H. P. Lovecraft for his short story "The Call of Cthulhu". First appearing in the February 1928 issue of the pulp magazine Weird Tales, he is depicted as an octopoid Great Old One of enormous power who lies in a death-like slumber in his sunken city of R'lyeh beneath the Pacific Ocean. He is the namesake and the best-known element of the Cthulhu Mythos, appearing in the works of numerous authors following Lovecraft and frequently referenced in popular culture.
Description
The most detailed descriptions of Cthulhu are based on statues of the creature. One, constructed by the young artist Henry Anthony Wilcox after a series of baleful dreams, is said to have "yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature [...] A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings." (HPL: "The Call of Cthulhu") Another, recovered by police from a raid on a murderous cult, "represented a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind." (HPL: "The Call of Cthulhu")
Cultists believe that the activities of Cthulhu and his Star-Spawn (referred to as the "Great Old Ones") are closely linked to the configuration of the stars, that when the stars are "right" they can move through space to colonise new worlds, but when the stars are "wrong" they cannot live, although they can't die either, instead entering a sort of suspended animation or stasis, "preserved by the spells of mighty Cthulhu". (HPL: "The Call of Cthulhu")
In Lovecraft's works, the only description of Cthulhu himself, as opposed to his stone idols, comes from the narrative of Gustaf Johansen, the lone survivor of a group of sailors who stumbled upon a portion of sunken R'lyeh after it briefly emerged from the sea due to cataclysmic tremors in 1925. Johansen's testimony emphasizes the gargantuan size of the creature, which is compared to a walking mountain. The seaman describes Cthulhu as a "gelatinous green immensity", with "flabby claws" and a "squid-head with writhing feelers". Johansen's phrase "a mountain walked or stumbled" gives a sense of the monster's scale. This is corroborated by Wilcox's dreams, which "touched wildly on a gigantic thing 'miles high' which walked or lumbered about". (HPL: "The Call of Cthulhu")
