Disney and 20th Century Studios are set to take us into the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes next year as director Wes Ball (The Maze Runner) relaunches the franchise with a new chapter set years after Caesar’s adventures in the rebooted trilogy, and we now have our very first glimpse at what’s to come with a short teaser advertising the release of a full trailer tomorrow.
Check out the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes teaser below, along with the official synopsis…
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 ape 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.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is directed by Wes Ball (The Maze Runner) and features a cast that includes Owen Teague (It), Freya Allan (The Witcher), Peter Macon (The Orville), Kevin Durand (Locke & Key), Travis Jeffery (Unbroken, Neil Sandilands (Sweet Tooth), William H. Macy (Shameless), Sara Wiseman (One Of Us Is Lying), Ras-Samuel Welda’abzgi (The Clearing), Lydia Peckham (Cowboy Bebop) and Dichen Lachman (Severance).
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will be released on May 24th, 2024.
