New 'Planet of the Apes' Trilogy Set 300 Years After Caesar's Death

Andy Serkis unlikely to reprise role, Owen Teague to play lead ape in the new beginning.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, set to release in late spring 2024, will launch a new trilogy set 300 years after the death of Caesar, the character played by Andy Serkis in the previous films.
Fans of the franchise may be disappointed as it's expected that Andy Serkis will not reprise his role as Caesar due to the timeline of the new trilogy.
Director Wes Ball has expressed that the new trilogy will represent 'the beginning of something', contrasting with the previous movies which were about 'the end of something'.
Despite being the director of the first film in the new trilogy, Wes Ball may not continue to helm subsequent entries as he has recently signed on to direct a live-action Legend of Zelda movie.
The new film will feature a completely new cast, with Owen Teague slated to play the lead ape.
