Disney’s plans for a new “Planet of the Apes” film has had people speculating since it was first announced.
Would the project be yet another reboot of the property, or would it continue on from the recent Fox trilogy of films which seemingly ended the story with “War for the Planet of the Apes” in 2017?
A few days ago, indications arose that suggested another reboot was in store. Today, the film’s director Wes Ball has shot down that talk, saying on Twitter:
“It’s never been easier for film journalists to actually get in touch with the actual people who actually know… but maybe it’s the point to NOT fact-check these days? Regardless. Don’t worry. I won’t ruin the surprises, but it’s safe to say Caesar’s legacy will continue.”
The recent ‘Apes’ trilogy grossed a total of $1.68 billion from a combined budget of $413 million, along with scoring much critical acclaim.
