10 Most Anticipated Sci-fi Movies Of 2024
8. Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes
Release Date: May 24
Fans of our primate brethren will be pleased to hear that there are several big monkey movies on the horizon for 2024, including Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes -- the fourth in the series, and something of a new start.
The film will continue Andy Serkis's legacy without the man in the mo-cap suit, and promises a whole new future world for the super apes to play in.
Set 300 years after 2017's War for the Planet of the Apes, the film will feature a new cast in an ape-led world that is significantly closer to the Charlton Heston planet from the original 1968 movie, where humans are now feral and the monkey overlords have begun subjugating each other while searching for the remaining traces of human technology.
Kingdom doesn't promise a whole lotta laughs, but anyone who has been with the revamped series since its 2011 debut knows that the films' strengths lie not in their humour but in their impressive visuals and uncanny ability to make us care deeply about these post-human creatures.
