It's been a while since we've heard anything about War for the Planet of the Apes, but following the news that a first look at the movie will debut at the New York Comic-Con later this month, 20th Century Fox has released the first official synopsis. While it sounds like we're still at least a movie or two away from apes ruling the Earth, this instalment should take us yet another step closer to that.
In ‘War for the Planet of the Apes,’ the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.
Matt Reeves will return to direct War for the Planet of the Apes, while Andy Serkis will of course be back as Caesar. Woody Harrelson is expected to play the villainous Colonel mentioned above.
