Steve Zahn Cast As A New Ape In WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES
Not long after we learned that Woody Harrelson is set to play the (human) villain, War For The Planet Of The Apes has just cast a new ape character. Treme & Dallas Buyers Club star Steve Zahn has been brought on board the threequel. Read on for more details...
Looks like Andy Serkis has found someone to monkey around with (sorry). According to The Wrap, actor and comedian Steve Zahn is set to play a new ape character in the hotly anticipated War For The Planet Of The Apes. In what's becoming a bit of a pattern with this film, the casting news is light on any other story details. Zahn will join Woody Harrelson and Gabriel Chavarria in the sequel.
War is the third movie in the relaunched Planet Of The Apes franchise. Director Matt Reeves will be back to helm the film from a script he co-wrote with Mark Bomback. The pair helped turn Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes into a huge smash at the box office last year, raking in over $700 million worldwide. Additionally, both movies have been well received by critics and audiences alike - let's hope War can make it three in a row for Serkis and Fox.
What do you think of Zahn's casting? Do you think he'll be a friend or foe to Caesar? As always, be sure to sound off with your thoughts and theories in the comments below!
War For The Planet Of The Apes hits theatres July 14, 2017.
