“In War for thePlanet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimedblockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins this own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.”
As has been the case with the previous two installments of the franchise, a totally new set of human cast members has been shuffled in.Judy Greer,Steve ZahnandWoody Harrelsonhave all joined the cast ofWar for the Planet of the Apes, but some very important cast members are returning.Max Lloyd-Jonesis returning as the ape Blue Eyes,Terry Notaryis back as Rocket but most importantly,Andy Serkishas come back to reprise his now very iconic role as Caesar the ape. At this point it would be inconceivable to do the movies without him, so fans should be happy to see the motion capture pioneer back.
2014’sDawn of the Planet of the Apestook a 15-year jump forward in time, following the events portrayed inRise of the Planet of the Apes. DirectorMatt Reeveshas stated thatWar for the Planet of the Apesis going to take place shortly afterDawn of the Planet of the Apes, without a major time jump like happened last time. That would make sense given what happened at the end of the last movie, as there seems to be quite a bit to settle in the current timeline that has been established.
War for the Planet of the Apesis written byMark BombackandMatt Reeves. The movie is set for a prime-timesummer releaseon July 18, 2025. Be sure to check out the first trailer forWar for the Planet of the Apesfor yourself below.
