Unlike Rise, which was directed by Rupert Wyatt, and Dawn and War, which were directed by Matt Reeves, Kingdom will be helmed by director Wes Ball, known best for The Maze Runner and its sequels. The “legacy” part of the legacy sequel will be taken literally: Caesar’s son, Cornelius (Owen Teague), will carry his father’s torch and serve as a central focus alongside newcomer primates played by Kevin Durand and Peter Macon, and a human woman, played by The Witcher’s Freya Allan. Instead of incorporating the original protagonists and reestablishing their importance to the story à la Top Gun: Maverick, Jurassic World, and the latest Star Wars trilogy, Kingdom will follow the continuity of Rise, Dawn, and War without the Moses-like Caesar’s presence. “Legacy sequel” is in quotes because Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will slightly subvert the category’s norms.
