In three films we have seen the collapse of the world as we know it and the rise of the apes. This year, Planet of the Apes: Reign continues the previous trilogy and shows a world closer to that seen in the original 1968 film. A new teaser released this Saturday (23) reveals a little more about this new kingdom.
Check out the new teaser for Planet of the Apes: Reign
The film takes place many years after the end of War for the Planet of the Apes and shows a world now completely dominated by apes. Now it’s up to Noa to discover the mysteries of a kingdom ruled by a new king.
The sequel will feature Kevin Durand as Proximus Caesar, the franchise’s new villain. Owen Teague will play the new protagonist. In addition to Durand and Teague, the cast also includes Freya Allan (The Witcher), William Macy (Fargo), Eka Darville (Jessica Jones) and Lydia Peckham (Cowboy Bebop).

It is worth pointing out that, although the most remembered Planet of the Apes films today, and which revitalized the franchise, are the reboots of 2011 (Inception), 2014 (The Showdown) and 2017 (The War), the originals are much more old ones, being launched from 1968 onwards.
In total, there are nine films: five main features, a single remake from 2001, which was directed by Tim Burton (and had no continuity), and the new reboot trilogy started in 2011 — the first film was directed by Rupert Wyat. Matt Reeves took over both sequels.
Directed by Wes Ball, from Maze Runner, Monkey’s Planet: O Reinado opens May 23 in theaters.
