In an interview with Screen Rant, director Wes Ball talked about the time jump in 'Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes'. He said, "The studio came and asked, "What would you do with the next Planet of the Apes movie?" Which by the way, when this movie comes out, will be just shy of five years ago. So it's been that long now. We survived a regime change at the studio. We survived the pandemic."
He added, "We are a new chapter in this long legacy of movies since 1968, but still honor what came before us. So that's what we tried very hard to find is that balance between being our own thing, but still feeling like it belonged. Not just tonally, but even story-wise. We are an extension, a continuation of that Caesar legacy, but we are our own new characters and story, and it opens up new opportunities."
