Scheduled for May 2024, “Planet of the Apes 4” is revealed with a visually impressive first trailer. The film will be a sequel to the trilogy initiated by “Planet of the Apes: Origins” (2011).
Planet of the Apes 4 : an anticipated project
After five films released between 1968 and 1973, as well as a remake by Tim Burton in 2001, Planet of the Apes became an excellent trilogy initiated in 2011 with Planet of the Apes: Origins . We then discovered a scientist looking for a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease and whose tests are being carried out on monkeys. From these experiences, Caesar will be born , a chimpanzee who, thanks to the medication and the scientist’s training, will develop incredible intelligence and even manage to speak. And as a pandemic hits humanity, Caesar and the apes will take refuge in nature.
Thus, Planet of the Apes: Showdown (2014) and Planet of the Apes: Supremacy (2017), the apes became the main characters . The strength of these films is that they manage to move us in front of these animals which, in certain aspects, could be better than Man. The conclusion was beautiful, but Disney, after buying Fox, decided to return to this universe. Not with a reboot, but a sequel: Planet of the Apes 4 ( Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes in original version).
A trailer that makes you want
So, no need to go back to the origins. As we can see with the revealed trailer (video on the front page of the article) , the film will take place many years after the events of the previous feature film. At the end of Supremacy , Caesar led his people to freedom before passing away. We discover in these images that things have changed a lot since then, with humans returning to the wild and being reduced to slavery. In the synopsis shared by Comingsoon , we can read:
Some groups have never heard of Caesar, while others distorted his teaching to build new empires. In this setting, an ape leader begins to enslave other groups to find human technology, while another ape, who saw his clan being kidnapped, embarks on a journey to find freedom. A young human woman (Freya Allan) will be key to his quest, even if she has other goals.
Visually, the digital effects to bring the monkeys to life are impressive. This was also a great quality of the trilogy. And we expected no less with Planet of the Apes 4 .
In the cast of this new film, we find Freya Allan , revealed by her role as Ciri in The Witcher , as well as Owen Teague ( It ) and Peter Macon ( The Orville ). Also present are Kevin Durand , William H. Macy and Dichen Lachman . On the production side, we will see Wes Ball at work again after his Labyrinth trilogy . We also find similarities in the settings, in this world where nature has reclaimed its rights.
Planet of the Apes 4 is scheduled for a theatrical release on May 22, 2024 .
