20th Century Studios and Disney have released new details for their upcoming action-adventure film “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”. Today we got our first in-depth look at the feature via a new trailer, new poster, and several new images from this long-awaited next chapter in the epic “Planet of the Apes” saga. The film is set to premiere exclusively in theaters on May 24, 2024. Here’s all the information from today’s announcement.
From the Studio:
Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.
“Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” is directed by Wes Ball (the “Maze Runner” trilogy) and stars Owen Teague (“IT”), Freya Allan (“The Witcher”), Kevin Durand (“Locke & Key”), Peter Macon (“Shameless”), and William H. Macy (“Fargo”). The screenplay is by Josh Friedman (“War of the Worlds”) and Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver (“Avatar: The Way of Water”) and Patrick Aison (“Prey”), based on characters created by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver, and the producers are Wes Ball, Joe Hartwick, Jr. (“The Maze Runner”), Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Jason Reed (“Mulan”), with Peter Chernin (the “Planet of the Apes” trilogy) and Jenno Topping (“Ford v. Ferrari”) serving as executive producers.
Keith & the Movies 
Looks awesome! PotA has always been one of my favorite franchises, going back to the first one.
I’m with you. I was really impressed with this newer series of films. Hopefully this one can live up to the others.
I loved the original Planet of the Apes from the first time I watched it at the drive in when my mom and dad took me to see it .I own the original 5 on the Blu ray special edition ( my sons gifted to me on my 50th) . I didn’t like Burton’s movie . Too much Burton for me.But the new trilogy, I loved and Andy Serkis was amazing as Caesar and truly took mo cap to new levels . So I’m truly excited to see this one after checking out the trailer. It’s they continue the story in the future. Looking forward to it .
I’m with you on the Burton version. I’ve been tempted to revisit it (it’s been years). But I do really like the newer films.
Thanks for reading.
I’m with you on the Burton version. I’ve been tempted to revisit it (it’s been years). But I do really like the newer films. And I have a real soft spot for the originals. They were sooo much fun to watch as I was growing up.

Sorry for the double message. It wouldn’t log me in originally. I have most my family and friends using your site as a go to for movie reviews.
Hey you never have to apologize for that. No worries at all! And thanks so much. That’s a real encouragement. Much appreciated.
Yay, I’m in, looks great!
Me too. Did you like the previous movies?
Yes I did, though the Wahlberg one was a bit of a drop, the rest were fab.
100% agree
I saw the original and at least one of the sequels. Keeping an open mind on this one.
The newer ones really surprised me. Wasn’t that excited going into them but ended up liking them more than I ever expected to.
This looks really cool. I enjoyed that last trilogy of films as I thought it was the closest thing to the original film but also do a lot with its visual effects and story.
Absolutely. I hope they aren’t stretching it too far. I’m willing to give it a go.
