I imagine that Kong will probably battle several less powerful monsters like giant bugs and dinosaurs at various points, but have one more powerful enemy that he fights in the climax. If this film ends up being a loose adaptation of Kong: King of Skull Island, that enemy could be a giant dinosaur matriarch like Gaw. The plot synopsis for the movie even says it's the story of "how Kong became King," so Gaw or a monster similar to her would make a logical opponent for Kong. Kong battles the monster currently ruling Skull Island and kills it, taking its place as the new king of Skull Island.

There are some legal issues revolving around how much this movie supposedly borrows from King of Skull Island, so I'm unsure if Legendary will actually be able to use Gaw as the antagonist, but they could still follow a similar concept with some kind of vicious powerful monster that rules Skull Island, only to be defeated by Kong. I'd like to see a Toho kaiju maybe make an appearance in the movie, but even if one does I don't see it being the main antagonist.
