The first official synopsis for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes says that it picks up “many years after War for the Planet of the Apes,” meaning that Kingdom will revisit that world from Rise, Dawn, and War now years after Caesar’s death. Fortunately, it is now confirmed that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will be a sequel to War for the Planet of the Apes. War for the Planet of the Apes wrapped up Caesa's story in a most satisfying way, which means the next Planet of the Apes movie risked not being a true sequel but instead yet another remake or reboot. The reception of the Planet of the Apes reboot trilogy set a new high for blockbuster sci-fi films, but it also created a challenge as to where to take the saga next. Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and War for the Planet of the Apes were rare examples of movies that combine blockbuster-level of action with deep character study.
