The impact of the 2023 actor and writer strikes in Hollywood is still being felt in 2024 as many big productions face significant delays.
However, there are still some major, highly-anticipated movies that will be released this year, including Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which acts as a direct sequel to War for the Planet of the Apes.
There were previous suggestions that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes would be a reboot of the franchise, but director Wes Ball took to Twitter to alleviate those concerns, saying:
"It’s never been easier for film journalists to actually get in touch with the actual people who actually know... but maybe it’s the point to NOT fact-check these days? Regardless. Don’t worry. I won’t ruin the surprises, but it’s safe to say Caesar’s legacy will continue..."
Even though Caesar died in War for the Planet of the Apes, the new movie will still allude to his leadership and teachings and the world he helped create.

The official synopsis reads:
'Nearly 300 years after the events of War for the Planet of the Apes, ape civilizations have emerged from the oasis to which Caesar led his fellow apes, while humans have regressed into a feral state. When the ape leader, Proximus Caesar, perverts the teachings of Caesar to enslave other clans in search for last traces of human technologies, Noa, a common chimpanzee, embarks on a harrowing journey alongside a young human named Mae to determine the future for apes and humans alike.'
