I put planet of the apes into google on a lark, and look what came up-released last month at D23 I guess
more movies and pretty sure they'll make shows for disney+ as well
"It isn't quite clear just yet whether Disney will be rebooting the franchise or giving
War for the Planet of the Apes a sequel, but either way,
Disney will no doubt try to duplicate the success that 20th Century Fox saw with the Planet of the Apes series."

YES!! I KNOW I can't stand this guy!
But his video caught my eye, I have been on a passive look out for news of any new Mousey Apes stuff-- you know its coming
seems it is-or could be
you can take the video at face value and i am sure that D.Ck fans will
however, his 'anonymous source' to me, sounds more like some avg guy pitching his own ideas on an Apes movie. he knows it will never be made, so, why not get SOME attn? bad attn is better than none for some
also, If the main character IS the female astronaut, so what? Back in the 60's the idea of a female astronaut was so outlandish, the mere idea IN ITSELF was fiction. Now though, there are hundreds, or more female astronauts in space programs all over the world--- girls drive cars too!!
i think guys like doomcock are showing their misogyny when they automatically jump to the "omg its a female lead character!! they are once again trying to attack the male dominated society!! this movie WILL SUCK!!!"
Well, if they do make it, and the female lead-Stewart, is a fact, maybe it will suck. But it wont be because its a female lead. The whole concept of Pof Apes has never been shown correctly on screen
we never see a "planet" of apes, we only ever see a city or neighborhood of apes. i want to see a whole planet, dammit!
thats one underlying potential suck-ness
another is the profit mongering of disney and what they have the characters - male or female- DO AND SAY in the movie
ex: if they have a scantily clad Stewart running through a corn field, then stopping when she sees a young gorilla boy and girl arguing over gender roles, and she stops to give them a lesson on that.. then that will suck
if she doesn't, and she goes about kicking ape ass and blowing shit up-- along with her newfound, uber masculine boy, Nova, then it will be ok
either way-- DISNEY will do whatever they think it takes to turn every franchise they purchased from FOX into a money maker. how they do it, who knows, one can only hope that the mistakes of the new SW's trilogy and things like LOKI and BLACK WIDOW make them go more in the way of THE MANDALORIAN.. hey.. maybe Dave Filoni or FAVREAU is an APES fan?
