New stills of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4" officially confirm that it will start a new trilogy

Recently, the director and leading actors of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4" were interviewed by Empire magazine, revealing more about the film's characters and plot settings. Chimpanzee Noah and young woman Mei embark on a difficult journey to determine the future of apes and humans. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4" will be the first part of the new trilogy and will be released in North America on May 24 next year.

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4" is set 300 years after the end of "War for the Planet of the Apes". The ape civilization has risen, while humans have regressed to the barbaric era. At this time, the deeds of the previous generation of protagonist Caesar have long been forgotten, and later generations hardly know of his existence. Owen Teague, who plays the chimpanzee Noah, said: "Noah has no idea who Caesar is, and when he embarks on his adventure, he will explore Caesar's legacy and various historical interpretations of his legend. Noah must figure out what it all means."

Kevin Durand, the actor who plays the role of Prosimus Caesar, the leader of the apes, said: "Caesar is almost a religious symbol, and the reason why Prosimus uses the name Caesar is because Caesar is the most noble being in the ape society. In order to ensure the continued evolution of the apes, he goes against Caesar's teachings and enslaves other tribes to find the last traces of human technology."

Director Wes Ball said: "From the beginning, we thought of it as a trilogy. We already have some ideas about where it will eventually develop and how it fits into the mythology of this series. I am currently discussing the story of the next episode with the film company. This new trilogy tells the story of the end of something, the end of the Moses story, and the end of the human era. And we want to plant a new tree on the ruins of the previous movies. This movie is very much about the new beginning of something."
