A massive Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes trailer has just dropped at CinemaCon. Continuing on with the popular Planet of the Apes franchise, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes takes place centuries after the events of War for the Planet of the Apes. The film features a leading cast including Freya Allan, William H. Macy, Peter Macon, Owen Teague, and Dichen Lachlan, and is set for release on May 10.
As per a Screen Rant representative, a 13-minute trailer for Kingdom for the Planet of the Apes has now been revealed at CinemaCon. The trailer begins by showing a sweeping landscape that appears to be a city from a bygone era. Through the overgrowth, the apes are revealed swinging through the derelict edifices, and have an exchange described by the following:
Three apes are seen scaling and swinging between the buildings. One of them does a cool movie and is called a “show off” by one of the other apes. They eventually find the hawk and its nest, and they whisper to each other so as to not alert it.
Once the hawk flies away, they go up to the nest and find three eggs. “Three. Only three,” the female ape says. One of the other apes says, “Take them all,” but he’s held back by Noa, presumably, who says to always leave one egg behind. They then choose which two eggs to take.
“We will raise them together, like we were raised. It will be the same,” the female ape says to the other two, talking about the unhatched eggs.
As the apes return to their camp on horseback, Noa is informed that his father is waiting for him. Noa’s father warns him of the destruction that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes villain Proximus Caesar is capable of as the scene cuts to a shot of Proximus Caesar burning down Noa’s villain. Noa becomes the only surviving member of this attack. Among the perished is his father, whose death Noa reacts to emotionally:
Noa kneels beside him and cries. He then buries his and says, “Father, I will find them. I will bring them home.” Noa gets on the horse and leaves his village, with a spear-type weapon in his hand. He arrives at an old railroad tunnel — on the ground he sees footprints of the apes his village. He charges through the dark tunnel and comes out from the other side and sees an old metropolis.
More to come…
