Woody Harrelson is set to play the main villain in Matt Reeves' highly anticipated War Of The Planet Of The Apes. The incredibly talented True Detective and No Country For Old Men actor will play a character called 'the Colonel', per THR. He is the second human character to be cast in the movie so far, joining Gabriel Chavarria, who has an untitled supporting role.
Andy Serkis is naturally set to return via motion capture as the movie's ape protagonist, 'Caesar', while the script will be written by Reeves' Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes colleague, Mark Bomback. The rebooted Planet Of The Apes franchise has been one of the most consistently brilliant series of the last half-decade, achieving widespread commercial and critical success. With Harrelson on board, that trend looks set to continue with this next installment.
War Of The Planet Of The Apes hits theatres July 14, 2017.
