"Kong: Skull Island" held a movie press conference on Feb. 21, Sunday, in Hanoi, Vietnam and guess who surprised the crowd with his appearance - Tom Hiddleston.
The gorgeous actor showed up at the press conference despite the news that he will not be joining the crew in the Vietnam filming, according to Thanhnien News. He purportedly went straight to Hanoi after the 66th Berlin International Film Festival in Germany. Also joining the press conference, are fellow actors Samuel L. Jackson and Brie Larson.
Meanwhile, Vietnam Ambassador Ted Osius talked about the filming that will take place in their country.
"The crew of 'Kong: Skull Island' has already picked their desired sets for the film in Vietnam," Ambassador Osius said at the conference, according to Tuoitrenews.
"They will surely be amazed by not only the scenery but also the friendly and hospitable people of this country."
Shooting in Vietnam starts Feb. 22, and director Jordan Vogt-Roberts shared how they found some "magical" locations in Vietnam that were really perfect for the story, according to a report by The Malay Mail Online.
"We came to Vietnam during the process and were immediately stunned by the surreal beauty of your country, from the mountains to the vistas of everywhere we set foot on," director Roberts said during the press conference, as per Tuoitrenews.
"We believe movie fans in the U.S. would wonder in awe as to where this beautiful place is."
"Kong: Skull Island" movie will have a five-week filming in Vietnam and director Roberts apparently remarked that the scenes that will be filmed in this South East Asian country will become the most vital scenes of the film, according to Thanhnien News.
The crew has reportedly been in Vietnam since January for the pre-production and almost 320 tons of equipment have been sent there by sea and air prior to February.
The epic film is expected to premiere in March of 2017.
