The Planet of the Apes reboot offers a new take on the 1968 sci-fi classic, but it seems like Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is actually going to be a remake of that original movie. Although Matt Reeves' Planet of the Apes trilogy shares a name with the original Planet of the Apes movies, they are both very different, with the modern trilogy a much more grounded take on the concept. However, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is combining both ideas, with the film secretly being a remake of the 1968 movie.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a continuation of Matt Reeves' reboot trilogy, being the fourth film in the series. However, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is making some significant changes, with the film featuring a time jump, a new director, and a new main figure: the son of Planet of the Apes character Caesar. These changes are set to make Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes more faithful to the original than any of its predecessors, and could potentially result in a remake of the 1968 movie.

Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes Will Feature More Ape Civilizations


Although the Planet of the Apes reboot trilogy follows the dawn of a new ape world, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will greatly expand on these ape civilizations. The latest film is set to introduce many new ape clans, meaning Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will live up to its title by actually featuring a world populated by apes. In the absence of Caesar, it seems as if the apes have split into different factions, making it even more similar to the original movies.

The plan of the Planet of the Apes trilogy has been to show the establishment of a new ape order, with the films exploring the rise, dawn, and war that surrounded Caesar and his compatriots. If the title of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is taken literally, like the previous three movie titles were, the film will introduce an actual kingdom rather than a tribe of slightly more advanced apes. The apes in the 1968 film lived in an advanced ape civilization, and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is gearing up to finally introduce this idea to the reboot series.

The Human Change Makes Planet Of The Apes 4 More Like The Original


While not true for the reboot trilogy, humans cannot talk in Planet of the Apes. War for the Planet of the Apes introduced an evolved form of the simian flu that prevents humans from talking and turns them feral. The humans at the end of the reboot trilogy hint that the human race will turn into the mute humans from the original film, and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is paying that off.


Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will have killed off most of the humans, with very few remaining. However, those that do remain cannot talk and have now become completely feral - much like their 1968 counterparts. All that remains is for the apes to take humans as prisoners and then Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will have more or less become a remake of 1968's Planet of the Apes.
