Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes: Poster, Teaser, Images Released

The first poster, teaser trailer, and images for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes have been released. It is the fourth film in the rebooted series.

The last three Planet of the Apes movies are pretty much a perfect trilogy of films, and there is no getting around that. What everyone thought was just a way to cash in on familiar IP turned into something so much more and even sparked ongoing conversations about who gets the credit behind motion capture characters when the performances are as good as Andy Serkis was in those films. However, the trilogy did come to an end in 2017, and people did think it was over. In a move that screams irony, the trilogy that seemed like it was only greenlit to cash in on established IP is getting a fourth film that feels like it was only greenlit to cash in the previous three films. The last three films were great, so of course, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes could be excellent as well, but we'll have to see. The first poster, teaser trailer, and images were released today.
