After delivering some of the best drama and performances of the summer a few years back, the apes have returned. Matt ReevesWar for the Planet of the Apes will arrive this summer and judging from the first trailer, the battle has gotten even darker. Featuring the return of Andy Serkis as his Caesar goes up against Woody Harrelson, this trailer highlights some of the best cinematography we’ve seen in a blockbuster as of late, along with setting up an intense scenario.

“Physically, he is much more upright, much more human-like. He’s continued to evolve. Linguistically he’s much more fluent. In this movie Caesar is much more, he becomes almost human,” Serkis tells Screen Rant. “If you remember in the last movie, the apes were discovering language. They were finding a sort of prototype language and it was a combination of signing and ape vocalizations and the odd human word. For Caesar now, the human word becomes his primary form of expression. That was a very big challenge for me, personally, in this movie in terms of charting the next version of Caesar, Caesar Mark 3.”

Check out the trailer below for the film also starring Steve Zahn, Amiah Miller, Karin Konoval, and Terry Notary.

In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.
