The amazing Judy Greer returns as Caesar&#8217;s wife Cornelia.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the official synopsis:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In <strong><em>War For\u00a0The Planet Of The Apes<\/em><\/strong>, 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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re big fans of this franchise, which seemed like a kind of unlikely prospect at first but quickly revealed itself to be a great blend of old-school sci-fi themes and brilliant new technology, and with a truly iconic character at its centre. We&#8217;re very excited to see how this is shaping up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>War For\u00a0The Planet Of The Apes is released in cinemas on 14 July 2017.
