While speaking with The Nerdist this week, Reeves revealed that this third film will follow in the progression of its predecessors.

"The notion of what we're after in the third is continue that trajectory to how he becomes the seminal figure in ape history and almost becomes sort of like an ape Moses of sorts, a kind of mythic ascension," he explained, according to Slash Film. "We're trying to play out those themes and try to explore it in this universe of exploring human nature under the guise of apes."

In another interview with Collider, Reeves talked more about the actual script, which is in the works as we speak.

"We are outlining the story right now, and it's pretty exciting," he said this week. "I'm pretty excited about it. I think for me the idea is that-somebody called this the 'Caesar cycle' of these films and I loved that. I thought, 'That's exactly right.' He is this unique character in that he sort of was raised as human but he's an ape, and he wasn't part of either."

Meanwhile, Serkis sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to speak about the next film, but kept his comments brief.

"The ape community has fallen apart. There's potential war," the actor teased. "He's going to have to lead the apes in darker times. I think it's going to be very powerful."
