Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is scheduled for a 2024 release.
It's been five years since the release of War for the Planet of the Apes, and 20th Century Studios announced Thursday that the next title in the franchise will be Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
"A new saga begins," the studio tweeted. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which will be set many years after War for the Planet of the Apes, starts production in October and is planned to come out in 2024, the studio said. The movie will star Owen Teague, Freya Allen and Peter Macon, and be directed by Wes Ball.
