The first War for the Planet of the Apes trailer is here, and with it the first official poster for the film, as well. The poster features Caesar as a full-on general, riding a horse with a rifle strapped to his back in the snow. It’s a natural progression from the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes poster, which also featured Caesar on horseback – in that poster, however, he was a screaming guerilla (no pun intended) leader. Now, he’s poised, calculated, and angry.
