Work has been underway for a while now on Wes Ball's new entry in the Planet Of The Apes franchise, Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes, but that isn't stopping casting news from getting out. William H. Macy is the latest addition to the ensemble.
With a script from Josh Friedman, Prey's Patrick Aison and recent Apes trilogy veterans Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, the new movie's strict plot is being kept under wraps for now, but we do know it takes place many years after the time of Caesar. And from the looks of the concept art, the planet has certainly moved on.
It's Owen Teague, The Witcher's Freya Allan and The Orville's Peter Macon are leading the cast, the film will also feature Kevin Durand, Sara Wiseman, Neil Sandilands, Eka Darville, Lydia Peckham, Travis Jeffrey and Ras-Samuel Welda'abzgi.
As with most of the cast, Macy's role is a mystery right now. Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes will be in cinemas on 24 May, 2024.
