Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes Director Explains His View On The Franchise Timeline Between The Caesar Trilogy And His Movie

Watching Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes, a fan will note that it doesn’t get super specific about its place on the Planet Of The Apes timeline. An early title card only describes the setting as “Many Generations Later” following the events of War For The Planet Of The Apes, and the movie doesn’t have characters perform exposition dumps explaining key points in history. It’s an approach that opens one’s imagination to what has happened in the canon since the days of Caesar – and that was exactly director Wes Ball’s intention.
