There are also new details regarding the journey of the main protagonist, Caesar (Andy Serkis), and why the character is taking a dark path.
Fans of the franchise have finally met the main villain of "War for the Planet of the Apes." It was highlighted in the trailer that the apes will go head to head with the Colonel (Woody Harrelson) and his army of humans. The Colonel may also be the most challenging opponent of Caesar as they would also be struggling with his trained soldiers, their advanced weapons, and even tanks as seen in the trailer. According to reports, the battle between the two species will decide the fate of the planet Earth.
Based on the reports of IGN, Andy Serkis has stated that Caesar will be driven by Revenge in the third installment of the rebooted series. Moreover, the character will also go to the process of self-discovery realizing that Caesar has a deeper dark side which he would soon find out. At the beginning of "War for the Planet of the Apes," the apes have already been involved in the war with humans for about two years. The war actually sparked after the events that occurred during the second installment, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes."
There is also a possibility that Caesar will experience self-doubt as the leader of the apes. The producer of the film, Dylan Clark, also mentioned that a lot of thoughts are also running through the mind of Caesar as if there is a battle brewing within him. He already has experienced a lot of losses during the span of the war and he is thinking if there is still a way to make things right once again under his leadership. In addition, the universe of "War for the Planet of the Apes" might also expand since Caesar's group might also encounter new tribes of apes outside their territory.
The anticipated release date for "War for the Planet of the Apes" is on July 14, 2017. The director of the upcoming film is Matt Reeves and other cast members that are also part of it are Steve Zahn and Judy Greer.
