What The Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes Trailer Reveals About The Movie
The new movie in the reboot franchise will seemingly continue exploring the conflict between apes and humans as the former become Earth's dominant species. In the previous film, War for the Planet of the Apes, it was revealed the Simian Flu Pandemic had resulted in humans becoming more animalistic. This change in the dynamic between apes and humans will be further explored in the sequel.
The rise of a tyrannical ape also underscores a possible conflict between Cornelius and this new ruler. Since the young ape has a lot to live up to given his father's leadership in earlier installments, this movie may reveal his own rise to power. This sets up the possibility of a future film that remakes the original Planet of the Apes, bringing the franchise full circle.

For now, though, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will be an adventurous new movie taking inspiration from the original while following the events of Caesar's rule. The new focus on Cornelius sets up a story that feels familiar while also being original to the new timeline. It remains to be seen how much the sequel will pull from the original and what future events it will set into motion.
