Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ Time Jump & Themes Explained by Director
Approximately 300 years after the events of War for the Planet of the Apes, Apedom has entered a new stage of its evolution. Caesar is long dead, but his influence and words live on in some parts of ape society, corrupted or misunderstood. Like the humans before them, ape society has evolved to varying degrees, with some living closer to nature, and others attempting to utilize the remains of human society for their own ends. This is the setting for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, a film director Wes Ball and 20th Century Studios hopes will start a whole new chapter in the Apes story.
