KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES’ Latest Trailer Brings Tension and War

A new entry into the world of Planet of the Apes is coming our way. It picks up generations after we left Caesar and his tribe living peacefully in War for the Planet of the Apes. Trouble, of course, is brewing, as it naturally does in order for franchises to continue. We can sense an epic conflict coming our way. The trailers for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes sets us up well for the “action-adventure spectacle” that awaits, promising ape tyrants, human friends, lots of danger, but also beauty. You can get a look at what’s in store below in the latest look, which includes a clip from the film.

The official logline for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes released with the trailer reveals more about its story; it notes:

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. 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.

That young ape, however, is not Cornelius, Caesar’s son, as many initially imagined. Instead, it is a young ape called Noa. Kingdom of Planet of the Apes does not take place immediately after Caesar’s death, but instead occurs nearly 300 years later, as revealed by Empire. But it seems Noa will still fight to be inspired by Caesar’s legacy and ultimately, he will seek to understand it and keep it alive. But will he successfully bring peace to apes and humans alike in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes? We’ll have to wait and see where his journey goes. But this trailer suggests it certainly won’t be an easy quest.
