- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
The latest trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is actually more of an extended clip offering three minutes of fresh footage.
It begins with an action-packed chase scene as a band of apes, led by a terrifying gorilla, pursue a band of ragged-looking humans down a dried-out riverbed.
They snag a few of them in nets before following the remaining stragglers into a tall field, where the female protagonist played by Freya Allen (The Witcher) crouches low to avoid detection.

She does have one saviour though: a friendly ape, who speeds his horse towards Allen in an attempt to save her before the gorilla reaches her. It ends with a dramatic last-second leap.
Directed by Wes Ball, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign. “As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire,” says the synopsis, “one young ape will undertake a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.”
The film stars Freya Allan, William H. Macy, Dichen Lachman, Kevin Durand, Owen Teague, Peter Macon, and Travis Jeffery.
As for the release? Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes brings release date forward.
