Kong : Skull Islandborrowed not only the oecumenical conception of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but also several of its principal as well , with Tom Hiddleston , Brie Larson , Samuel L. Jackson , and evenGuardians of the Galaxy ’s John C. Reilly all seem in the ensemble form . The movie is mark in 1973 , and see a radical of soldiers who are being pulled out of Vietnam assigned to a new mission before they head home : exploring a mystical island in the Pacific Ocean .
