Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Super Bowl Trailer Released

Disney and 20th Century’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Super Bowl Trailer has arrived online after first premiering during Super Bowl 58. The upcoming movie is set hundreds of years after the events of 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes but is not a reboot and continues the timeline that began with Caesar’s storyline in that trilogy of movies. In addition to the new footage that was revealed in the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Super Bowl Trailer the spot confirmed the film’s new release date. Previously Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes had been scheduled for release on May 24th but will now bow into theaters on May 10.

20th Century Studios describes Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes as follows: “Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes 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.”
