The future of the 'Planet of the Apes' series: Is another sequel planned?

A minor storm has erupted in the entertainment world following an ambiguous statement by 20th Century Studios president, Steve Asbell, regarding the future of the successful 'Planet of the Apes' film franchise. According to the HollywoodHandle channel, when asked whether the next film would be a direct sequel to 'Kingdom', Asbell chose an unequivocal response: "I suppose that depends on how you define 'continuity?'".

This statement led to mixed reactions on social media, reflecting a gap between the perceptions of different content consumers. The HollywoodHandle channel expressed a critical stance toward the studios, claiming it is unnecessary "milking" of franchises, arguing that the original trilogy ended perfectly and there is no need to continue it.

On the other hand, the GoldenGrimParty channel presented an opposing narrative, representing an audience looking forward to seeing the continued development of the plot in the world after the events of 'Kingdom'. According to the data, reports on the subject have gained significant traction with approximately 89,912 cumulative views among the sources surveyed, which indicates a continued public interest in the veteran franchise.
