Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Trailer Shows off an Ape-Dominated World

A new Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes trailer dropped during the Super Bowl, showing off the latest installment in the Planet of the Apes franchise. The film will be released in theaters on May 10, 2024.

“Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows,” says the synopsis. “As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.”

Who will star in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes?

The next film in the Planet of the Apes series is set to star William H. Macy, Owen Teague, Freya Allen, Dichen Lachman, and Peter Macon, among others. The upcoming film is set “many years” following the events of 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes. After Caesar brought his people to an oasis, new ape societies have grown, while humans have been reduced to a more “feral-like existence.”
