Here's the final trailer (+ poster art) for Wes Ball's Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, from YouTube:

Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic, sci-fi franchise now set several generations in the future following Caesar's reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is directed by the American filmmaker / VFX artist Wes Ball, director of the trilogy of movies The Maze Runner, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, and Maze Runner: The Death Cure previously. The screenplay is by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver (writers of the previous Apes trilogy), Josh Friedman, and Patrick Aison. Produced by Joe Hartwick Jr., Jason Reed, Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver. 20th Century will debut Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes in theaters worldwide starting May 10th, 2024 this summer. Who's ready for this?
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes explores themes of leadership, violence, and societal conflict between humans and apes.
A young ape, Noa, challenges the teachings of the past, and faces difficult decisions to shape the future for both apes and humans.
The final trailer reveals a struggle for power as Proximus Caesar seeks domination, while Noa aims to prevent violence.
The final trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has been released, and it surprisingly reveals crucial details about the plot of the movie a few days away from its theatrical debut. The upcoming installment directed by Wes Ball will take the franchise in a new direction, after the previous trilogy starring Andy Serkis as Caesar paved the way for the adventure that will be seen on the big screen this summer. Noa (Owen Teague) must find a way to make his fellow apes understand that violence is not the answer, but he'll have a hard time doing so considering how Proximus Caesar (Kevin Durand) wants to rule above everyone.

The new trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes gives audiences a new look at Noa's past, and how unpredictable tragedies shaped him into the ape he is at the beginning of the movie. While viewers get to know the protagonist of the new story, the trailer also reminds them how the human character played by Freya Allan can actually talk. The fact that Mae can communicate with the apes who can help her is surprising because, at this point of the franchise's timeline, humans have already been reduced to feral creatures.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is set to continue the franchise's legacy with a story that will also include performances from Peter Macon, William H. Macy and Travis Jeffery, as Noa continues to learn why humans went from the dominating species of the planet to the vulnerable creatures they've become. After starring in The Orville, Macon will step into the shoes of Raka, a wise orangutan who will become good friends with Noa over the course of his journey. At the same time, William H. Macy will portray a human character, but his role in the story is tightly kept under wraps.

Who Wrote 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes?'
The final trailer of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has it made very clear how 20th Century Studios are trying to propel the property into the future by introducing new characters that could lead more installments if the movie is successful. The screenplay for Wes Ball's upcoming adventure was written by Josh Friedman, who is currently working with James Cameron to outline the future of Pandora in the new Avatar sequels. The stage has been set for the apes to follow a new leader, in what could turn out to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes hits theaters May 10. Check out the trailer below:

The newest trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes includes a big reveal about Freya Allan’s human character.

The trailer begins with an ape explaining that “many generations ago, Caesar was our leader.” The ape talks about the evolution of apes and the regression of humans, who have lost their ability to speak. The trailer ends with a surprise, as Allan’s human character is shown saying a line of dialogue: “I have a name. Mae.”

This newest trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the first to show Allan’s character speaking. In previous trailers, it was assumed that she was one of the feral-seeming humans who roamed silently. The fact that Allan’s character, now identified as Mae, will talk in the latest movie clarifies why her character is crucial to the sequel's plot, such as her being a key target.

Even though Mae has no direct relation to the characters in the previous movies, she has a similar role to a character in War for the Planet of the Apes. This character is Nova, the young girl who joins Caesar in his journey to defeat the Colonel and his evil troops. Nova is a non-speaking character in the third movie, but her purpose as the main human within a largely ape-dominated plot seems similar to Mae's role in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

The trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes also includes a clear connection to the previous installments in that some characters will directly acknowledge Caesar’s legacy. Ball recently said the sequel will include a prologue to help keep viewers up to speed with past events. The latest reveal only amplifies that intrigue about the relationship between humans and apes and human evolution in the Planet of the Apes franchise.
