\nSeven years after the last entry, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes<\/strong> is once again inviting us into a world where apes are the dominant species.\n<\/p>\n

\nWhile it’s only been seven years for us, about 300 years have passed between the events of War for the Planet of the Apes and the upcoming fourth entry Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and apes are now the dominant species, with humans having turned to a more neanderthal-like lifestyle. For the most part, apes are pretty happy with this arrangement, led by their bonobo rule Proximus Caesar (Kevin Durand), though the film’s ape protagonist Noa (Owen Teague) isn’t so convinced.\n<\/p>\n

\nYou can see in the trailer above that Noa is starting to question the morality of hunting humans – which is fair – as well as him starting to piece together the fact that the planet’s history isn’t quite what he was taught. Freya Allen, who you’ve probably seen as Princess Cirilla in Netflix’s The Witcher series, also stars in the film, a human that appears to be smarter than other humans, according to Caesar anyway, and the trailer soon quickly pivots to Noa and the woman teaming up. An ape & human on ape war seems like all but an inevitability at this point.\n<\/p>\n
