What The New Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes Trailer Reveals About The Movie

While other trailers confirmed there was a core conflict between Noa and Proximus Caesar, there hadn’t been a concrete reason given for why the pair were at odds. However, this latest trailer reveals the young ape’s home was destroyed by the tyrant, while his friends and family were also taken prisoner. The latest trailer teases the movie will feature an epic quest that deals with questions of what happens to the world once humans are no longer the dominant species.

Given how much time has passed since the previous movie, it’s clear Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes explores Caesar’s legacy and the impact his bringing the apes to safety had on the entire world. However, much like previous entries like Rise and War, the movie is going to involve its main hero trying to rescue other apes, his efforts fortifying the core story of the film. As the worldbuilding of the franchise continues to expand, the new movie makes it clear said progress will happen in tandem with the major plot of its hero.

While it seems like Noa will manage to find out where his family was taken by Proximus Caesar, it’s unclear how the conflict between them will have an overall impact on the world. Since apes capturing humans has been a staple of the franchise since the original 1968 movie, it doesn’t seem like Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will put a stop to such things happening for good. However, the film might showcase different factions of apes formed from this conflict, revealing a much more complex world for the franchise than ever before.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
arrives in theaters on May 10.
