The sequel shouldn't have Ceasar in it because it should be many years into the future. Either that, or it's going to look like Resident Evil and Racoon City.

Theres so many possibilities for a sequel to be honest, and I love how they set that up in this film!

This movie was amazing and I can not wait to see what they will do with the sequel.

One thing I do know is that I definitely want James Franco back, at least for a minor role. If they will be showing humans trying to make a vaccine or some type of immunization shot then James Franco's character will be the man to do it since he basically created the virus.

I know he basically let Caesar move on and live his life, but their relationship was very powerful and I think they can do more with it.

I'm really excited to see Caesar rise into becoming the Ape King of Earth and how humans become an endangered species and are almost at the brink of complete extinction.

When the trilogy or how ever many sequels are done after this I will definitely be buying the box set!!

Speaking of "paying attention"; the "black guy" was Jacobs. The horror monkey wrote his name.

I WANT THIS SERIES TO END WITH A CAMEO FROM MARK WAHLBERG RETURNING TO EARTH. LIKE THE ENDING SCENE FROM TIM BURTON'S MOVIE.

Viruses never kill species in it's entirety. The virus decimates the human population but does not wipe it out. I think Rupert Wiatt is very good at toying with ideas. One idea he could use is that the virus causes some humans to mutate thus paying homage to the mutants in the originals.

I hope this movie not only spawns sequels but spinoffs such as Miniseries and TV shows. Now that would be awesome.
