About Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

Check out the studio’s statement about the next installment below:

Planet of the Apes is one of the most iconic and storied science fiction franchises in film history, as well as being an indelible part of our studio’s legacy,” Steve Asbell, President of 20th Century Studios, wrote in a previous statement. “With Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, we are privileged to continue the series’ tradition of imaginative, thought-provoking cinema, and can’t wait to share Wes’ extraordinary vision for this new chapter with audiences in 2024.”

Back in 2001, 20th Century tried to reboot the franchise, but, the attempt was met with critical failure. However, the trilogy of movies featuring Serkis’s performances are critically acclaimed and fans grew invested in Caesar’s plight. The hype for the installment is only escalating more with recent images and teasers. The Hollywood Reporter published a piece trying to define some of the movie’s plot.

“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,” they began. “Some groups have never heard of Caesar, while others have contorted his teaching to build burgeoning empires. 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 the latter’s quest, although she has plans of her own.”
