It's time to discover how Kong became King.

As Comic-Con continued Saturday afternoon in San Diego, the cast of Kong: Skull Island helped debut a brand-new trailer for the film.

"KONG is film history. It's what made me as a child love genre storytelling and special effects," director Jordan Vogt-Roberts shared during the panel. "This is why we make movies. This is why we're here."

In the trailer, fans get another glimpse of the star-studded cast including Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson and John Goodman venture deep into an uncharted island in the Pacific unaware that they're crossing into the domain of the mythic Kong. 

For fans of Hiddleswift, you may be curious if the one and only Taylor Swift was brought up during the sold-out panel. As it turns out, nothing was mentioned about relationships and romance.

At the same time, Tom acknowledged a couple of female fans who screamed, "I Love you, Tom." He enthusiastically replied, "I love you, too."

When the topic of Netflix came up, Tom admitted that he likes to watch Faulty Towers before Jordan joked that the star of his film is more about "dense" novels and poetry.

Today's panel comes just a few hours after Taylor was spotted early Saturday morning working out at the gym in Los Angeles. While the "Shake It Off" singer has been known to travel quite the distance in a short amount of time, there have so far been no sightings of the Grammy winner in San Diego.

Kong: Skull Island hits theaters everywhere March 10, 2017.
