Disney continues the long marketing push for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. May is going to be a tough month for even films with a ton of IP recognition so it will be really interesting to see how this one does. 20th Century has also been making sure that if you are on the fence about this film, you can make an informed decision by sharing a lot of footage. It's not another TV spot this time, but we got another clip. This one introduces us to Proximus Caesar (played by Kevin Durand) and the kingdom that he is creating. We also got another featurette where the great Andy Serkis talks about the legacy of the previous three films and how they are passing this along to Wes Ball and the team on this film.
