Since its inception in 1968, the ‘Planet of the Apes’ franchise has captivated audiences with its thought-provoking storytelling and memorable twists. However, the original film’s iconic ending, where astronaut George Taylor realizes he’s been on a post-apocalyptic Earth all along, remains unparalleled in its impact.
With ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ continuing the rebooted timeline, the pressure is on to deliver a twist that can match, or even surpass, the granddaddy of all ‘Apes’ twists.
Andy Serkis Raises Expectations with Tease of a Mind-Blowing Twist

Adding to the anticipation, franchise veteran Andy Serkis has teased that ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ will go in a direction that is set to “blow people’s minds.” While vague, this statement has fueled speculation about a potential game-changing twist in the upcoming film.
However, recreating the original’s twist would be a futile endeavor, as the modern films have already established their continuity on a post-apocalyptic Earth. To truly captivate audiences, ‘Kingdom’ must deliver a fresh, unexpected narrative element that challenges our perceptions in a wholly unique way.
While the temptation to mimic the iconic 1968 twist may be strong, ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ must tread carefully. Tim Burton’s ill-fated 2001 remake serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us that attempting to outdo the original’s twist can backfire spectacularly.

Instead, the film’s creators must strike a delicate balance, paying homage to the franchise’s legacy while forging new ground. By exploring uncharted territory and delivering a twist that resonates with contemporary audiences, ‘Kingdom’ can cement its place as a worthy successor to the iconic original.
‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ hits theaters on May 10th, promising a thrilling addition to the beloved sci-fi saga.
