New Planet of the Apes Film May Link to Previous Sequel Instead of Being Full Reboot

Story Summary

Despite reports suggesting the upcoming Planet of the Apes movie directed by Matt Shakman is a reboot rather than a continuation of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, studio executive Steve Asbell hinted at potential connections between the two projects. While the new film features writer Josh Friedman, Asbell's vague comment implies the story might involve characters or eras linked to the previous installment instead of starting completely fresh.
