      It’s an original story and not a continuation of ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ (which was also written by Friedman):

      >Plot details are being kept under wraps other than the film making a return to the planet where Apes are the superior species ruling all.

      Wes Ball was reportedly developing a sequel to Kingdom but this article doesn’t mention anything about it

      Shakman has come along way since the early Sunny days. Glad to see him get the success

      “Nooooooo” – Vader.

      The current series is amazing, All three directors, mostly Reeves, and also Ball, did marvellous job, they enhanced the vision of the old series, where mostly first movie actually worked…

      And the story was far from finish, the last sequence in the movie was actually pointing at quite huge cliffhanger, and now they just do another “reboot”?!

      I would not mind seeing Shakman do a next instalment in the series, but he is not Reeves, so I don’t trust him with a new “vision” for the series.

      I guess this means Shakman won’t be back for F4-2 or it’s nowhere close to production

      Sucks that it’s not going to be a sequel to Kingdom. I really enjoyed that one. But I enjoyed First Steps, so I’m excited.

      I was really hoping Wes Ball would return after he’s done with Zelda. I enjoyed his vision of the franchise and would’ve liked to see it continued in both story and visuals.

      Why would they not continue the story of Noa and the other intelligent human survivors? If it’s another time skip that’s one thing, but a complete reboot would be disappointing.

      Bummer I really liked what they set up in Kingdom. Really didn’t like F4

      Why do studios insist on letting shit directors direct their movies? Fantastic Four was awful by all stretches of the imagination

      Why ruin a good thing.

      This completely makes the last movie pointless unless they incorporate it somehow.

      Id rather it not be completely useless tbh

      Makes sense. Kingdom didn’t do well enough at the box office, making less than all three movies that came before. I felt it took way too long to set its characters up in an already established world.

      So are they waiting for Wes Ball to be done with his Zelda movie and then after that we’ll get the sequel to Kingdom. I hope so but I’m also looking forward to this new one with Matt.

      If this means no sequel to Kingdom, that’s crazy given the cliffhanger it ended on and the storylines it put into place. Kingdom wasn’t as good as any of the previous trilogy but it was a solid start to a potential new trilogy.

      The fantastic four movie was just awful. I will definitely pass on this.
