A new trailer for the upcoming science fiction feature Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes made its debut on Thursday.
In the clip, a young ape dealt with the rise of a despotic leader centuries after the death of the group’s former leader, Caesar.
The film, which had its first trailer debut late last year, serves as the beginning of a new trilogy of Planet Of The Apes features.
The trailer begins with a chimpanzee named Noa and an orangutan named Raka leading Mae, a feral woman, into the territory of ape leader Proximus Caesar.
Although Proximus warmly welcomes the trio into his ‘kingdom,’ Noa sees through the tyrant’s lies and gives him a distrustful look.
