This new era of apes is different, but has the potential to be truly great.
Hopefully, they will be for the betterment of the future movies, and the franchise as a whole.
Kingdomset up several avenues where its sequel could go down.
Exploring this tension between the humans and the apes will be pivotal.
Caesar’s story became one of epic proportions.
Arguably, Caesar’s story needed its time jumps to be successful.
However, Noa’s story does not need to be the same.
In fact, it should strive to be different.
It was risky to completely rearrange the main cast of the franchise, butKingdomsucceeded.
Set several years after the events of War for the Planet of the Apes, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the next installment in the Apes saga. Ape clans have taken up residence in the oasis that Caesar sought to colonize, but humans have reverted to their animalistic nature in their absence. Now battling between enslavement and freedom, outliers in the Ape clans will take sides in a newly burgeoning society.
At the moment, it is clear thatPlanet of the Apeswill continue with at least two more movies.
Presumably,Kingdom 2will return to Noaand his story of leadership among the apes.
The franchise may also see the return of Mae, who showcased a different kind of human role.
