“Hes sort of a representation of our baser instincts and vulnerabilities as human beings.
Kong really is the last masculine hero in movies.
They just dont make them like that anymore.”
“A big influence on me from that perspective is one of my favorite films, Michael Manns Thief.
James Caans performance is one of the best performances Ive ever seen.
Its the most masculine performance, I feel, in film history.
Hes got his hairy chest, his hairy arms and all that, and hes just such a badass.
He doesnt take shit from anybody.
He wants to have a kid, and its his relationship with the woman that you really remember.”
Wingard continues, “Kong is similar.
Hes masculine because hes a sensitive guy as well.
In this film its all about his loneliness and him wanting to find others.
We played with that in the last movie, his relationship with this little girl, Jia.
So theres a lot of interesting things about him as a character that are fun to explore.”
