New Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes trailer sees the series enter a new epic era

A new trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has been released.

The follow-up to 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes is set many years after the events of that movie and Caesar (Andy Serkis) is now dead. Instead, we pick up with his descendant, Cornelius (Owen Teague), in a very different world. The ape civilization founded by Caesar has splintered into different clans and humans have regressed to a feral state and a life in the shadows.

Alongside Teague, the movie’s cast includes William H. Macy, The Witcher’s Freya Allan, The Orville’s Peter Macon, and Severance’s Dichen Lachman. Wes Ball, who helmed the Maze Runner trilogy, is directing. 

“It was incredible,” Allan told GamesRadar+ when we asked what she could tease about the sequel. “I watched a lot of the series beforehand and yeah, it’s my proudest moment in my career so far. I’m really excited for it to come out, and proud of everyone involved – all the other actors and the director, Wes Ball, are fantastic. Everyone behind the scenes is just brilliant. I can’t really say anything, but I’m telling you now, go and see it.”

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is set to hit the big screen on May 10. For more, check out our guide to the other biggest upcoming movies on the way in 2024.
