Get Ready for 5 More Films About CGI Chimps in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Franchise

May 14, 2024 11:08 AM

The latest Hollywood news reveals that the producers behind "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," are contemplating the expansion of the franchise, possibly up to five more sequels. "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" has only recently hit theaters and carries forward the legacy of a series known for its CGI primates and dystopian narratives. With a history stretching back to five original films, it seems modern audiences retain an appetite for this battle for Earth between humans and intelligent apes. Despite the team's ambition for an expansive saga, the future of the series may depend on the ongoing success of the movies at the box office along with the creative team's capacity, considering director Wes Ball is also committed to directing a live-action "Legend of Zelda" film. "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" has enjoyed a favorable reception so far, which bodes well for the series' future.

What is the future of the "Planet of the Apes" franchise?

The "Planet of the Apes" franchise may be gearing up for several more films, following the positive reception and financial success of "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes". The producers have expressed a visionary plan that could extend to nine films, though the realization of this vision will depend on the performance and reception of each new installment.

The "Planet of the Apes" franchise, reinvigorated by the recent reboot series beginning with "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" in 2011, has continued to capture audiences with its innovative use of motion capture technology and compelling storytelling. The series, which explores themes of interspecies conflict, intelligence, and morality, has become a hallmark of science fiction cinema. Its impact has been considerable, influencing how CGI is used to create realistic non-human characters and pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling in Hollywood blockbusters.
