The Super Mario Bros Movie seems to have altered the Donkey Kong timeline and revealed that Cranky Kong is now Donkey Kong's father, not his grandfather.
On what looks like a Japanese promotional website for the upcoming movie (via Resetera), we get a character description for Donkey Kong. The description reads: "The successor and son of Cranky Kong, who leads the Jungle Kingdom and the Kong Army. He's a very powerful warrior, but he's also a little childish."
