Director Wes Ball Confirms That Disney's PLANET OF THE APES Film is Not a Reboot and Will Continue Caesar's Legacy
It was recently reported that Disney’s upcoming Planet of the Apes movie would be a reboot of the franchise. A lot of fans were upset by the news, but I’ve got an update to share with you today that will make fans happy. The update comes from the director of the new film, Wes Ball.
A fan reached out to the filmmaker on Twitter for an update on the rumor and the filmmaker confirmed that Caesar’s legacy will continue in the new film and that it will be a continuation of the story of the past three films and not a reboot. Here’s his quote:
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...🤫
This is great news! I loved the past films that were made by director Matt Reeves and that fact that we will get to see a continuation of that story is fantastic! It’s good to know that Disney isn’t a stupid as that rumor made them out to be.
I can’t wait to see what Ball is planning for this next film in the franchise!
