He never stated Kong wouldn't have a beard,he just didn't know either way.

I don’t understand how he wouldn’t know.

He also said Godzilla looks the same as 2019 but one of the last pics we saw of the full banner made it look pretty locked in that his spines had some white trim to them now

Me, I honestly think it looks a bit over the top. I know Kong isn't a normal gorilla but....ehhh...it just looks weird to me, to see a gorilla with a human like beard. I'll wait to see other pics of him with it but I honestly just wanted him to be a bit bulkier with blacker fur and some battle scars.
Kinda like his old man in the comic.

From what I've seen around the web I appear to be the minority lol.

Even his mom in the background had a 50s haircut lmao...

A beard is no different than excess fur/hair in some areas of apes.

His father in The Birth of Kong was more what I was hoping for as well. Since no previous Kong had a full on Viking beard it doesn't feel as true to the character.

It's honestly not that noticeable to me.

...Well than I guess a ton of Godzilla incarnations aren't true to the character either considering all of the times new attributes were added to Godzilla designs that had never been seen before :?

Agreed. I've never seen a gorilla with a Kratos beard before so it just looks a little weird to me.

Guess I've just been fancied by the Planet of the Apes franchise one too many times.

Looks great.

I like the beard. It's unique and sets him apart from the rest of the Kong's.

It might take a while to, ahem, growon me, but I love Kong with a beard.
It's just that beard. It's so wild! I was expecting something a little more....regal? Idk, I'll warm to it in time!

I like the beard. Makes Kong more Gorilla-like.

I like the idea that even though Godzilla is like 200,000,000 years old at least, and Kong is like 100 years at most, Kong is the old man out of the two

I for one like the Jordan Vogt-Kong. Looks cool as a feral ape man, which if I remember right in Kong Skull Island they did design Kong to be like that of human than an ape.

Some ass jockey decided to not crop dust the crowd, dude let off some straight napalm and cleared a 20 ft radius and didn’t flinch, he just moved up closer. I prayed Sandra wouldn’t catch a whiff, talk about Endgame....just gross.

Highly doubt is wrong. I don't believe he's seen any footage or trailers, just concept art. They may have changed Kong's appearance along the development line to have a beard, and he just hasn't seen the final concept yet.

Most likely, I look like a bore who does not understand jokes, but there is no reason why Godzilla is not an old man. he is not a human so he don't have a beard
