Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes continues the franchise’s reboot series that began in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, though it’s not a direct sequel in the traditional sense. Set long after the passing of former ape leader Caesar, Kingdom is set to take things in a somewhat different direction. Thankfully for fans of the series, this won’t mean that the material is watered down or kid-friendly.Director Wes Ball has confirmed that the new movie will indeed be a bit different from what’s come before. At the same time, there won’t be any egregious content or tonal changes to accommodate new studio handlers, Disney. This leaves room for the movie to nail the most important part of the series, which has always been its sharp, yet subtle social commentary.In an interview with Empire, Wes Ball (who previously worked on the movie adaptations of the Maze Runner books) spoke about the movie’s planned tone and some of the concerns about its content. Part of this stemmed from his experience as a “Young Adult” director, with the Maze Runner movies being based on Young Adult science fiction novels. Likewise, the Planet of the Apes franchise was owned by 20th Century Fox, which was purchased by Disney in 2019. This was arguably mostly done so that Disney and Marvel Studios would be able to gain the cinematic rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four characters, but it also gave Disney access to the rights to major science fiction properties.Planet of the Apes Reboot Sequel Gets Promising Release UpdateC-3PO Actor Sells Personal Collection of Star Wars Memorabilia
