The Hollywood Reporter notes that the solid reviews and decent box office showing for Kingdom 'was a crucial test,' earning $400 million and fulfilling filmmaker Wes Ball's dream of a new trilogy.
This new trilogy can finally answer the biggest question teased by Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, potentially bringing back elements from the franchise's earliest stories.
While Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is set in the same continuity as the previous trilogy, it takes place several centuries later, creating an incredible future hinted by its story.
The original 1965 novel and 1968 movie focused on human astronauts crashlanding on a world ruled by intelligent apes, a narrative that modern films might bring back through space travel.
