In Kong: Skull Island, Larson plays Mason Weaver, a photojournalist who has been filming the atrocities of the Vietnam War who now finds herself on an assignment to document whatever it is her expedition finds on a newly discovered secret island. (Spoiler alert, they find King Kong.) Ahead, Larson talks about the craziness that was filming Kong: Skull Island. Yeah, I was. I thought that it was such an amazing, bold take on it and I think it grapples with a lot of really big questions that I?m so proud that Legendary and Warner Brothers had the guts to do. I never got super freaked out by the awards season stuff. Because I would have these really magical, wild weekends in Los Angeles at an award show ? and then I?d be back in Australia or back in Vietnam or back in Hawaii, and covered in dirt,
