The Planet of the Apes has risen and dawned, and now it's time to war. Our friends over at Collider have learned the upcoming Planet of the Apes film will be titled War of the Planet of the Apes. This means, as the end Dawn of the Planet of the Apes hinted, the battle is so on. The apes and humans are going to murk each other in what should be the most gloriously violent spectacle in the series. But we can except continued depth in Caeser's story, too. Which is really just a bonus when there's all-out war.
Director Matt Reeves told Collider in November:
...this next movie I think is about him becoming the seminal figure for ape history. [It’s] like myth ascension, him becoming the ape Moses, for lack of a better sort of character to model him after. He is very much that way of being sort of caught between these two worlds, and I think that’s gonna be exciting to see the ways in which we can push him to places that are gonna make him very uncomfortable.
War of the Planet of the Apes will hit theaters July 14, 2017.
