Aside from some principle art, this is all we have actually seen from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes up until now. While still quite in the early phases, it appears like director Wes Ball will utilize a great deal of the exact same strategies that brought ape leader Caesar and his fellow simians to life so breathtakingly well in the similarity Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and War for the Planet of the Apes.
Details relating to the instructions of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes were exposed just recently, and validate that the follow up will get several years after the conclusion of War for the Planet of theApes “The new Apes movie is set many years after the conclusion of 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes,” a report by The Hollywood Reporter exposes. “Many apes societies have grown from when the Moses-like Caesar brought his people to an oasis, while humans have been reduced to a feral-like existence. Some groups have never heard of Caesar, while others have contorted his teaching to build burgeoning empires.”
The description continues, “In this setting, one ape leader begins to enslave other groups to find human technology, while another ape, who watched his clan be taken, embarks on a journey to find freedom. A young human woman becomes key to latter’s quest, although she has plans of her own.”
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is Due to Land in Theaters in 2024
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is being helmed by The Maze Runner director Wes Ball, who has actually guaranteed fans of the decade-spanning franchise that the tradition of the world of the apes remains in great hands. “We have a take. We have a way of staying in the universe that was created before us, but we’re also opening ourselves up in being able to do some really cool new stuff. Again, I’m trying to be careful here. I’ll say this, for fans of the original three, don’t worry — you’re in good hands,” Ball stated back in May 2020.
Written by Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, and Patrick Aison, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will be led by It star Owen Teague and The Witcher’s Freya Allan, with the previous playing the primary ape, anticipated to be Caesar’s child, Cornelius, with the latter set to play the primary human character. X-Men Origins: Wolverine star Kevin Durand will play the primary bad guy. The likes of Peter Macon, Eka Darville, Travis Jeffery, Neil Sandilands, Sara Wiseman, Lydia Peckham, Ras-Samuel Weld A’abzgi, Dichen Lachman, and William H. Macy comprise the remainder of the supporting cast.
