Finally, We’re Getting A Real PLANET Of The Apes

After the wildly successful yet human-focused reboot series of the 2010s, the ongoing Planet of the Apes franchise is finally showing audiences a true planet of the apes in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Beginning with 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the Planet of the Apes reboot trilogy brought the franchise to the modern day and examined the origins of the increased ape intelligence that defined the original movies. By the time the trilogy concluded with 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes, humanity was on a path toward the near-feral state first seen in the original 1968 Planet of the Apes.
