Planet of the Apes Unleashes Its New Ape Species, Led by an 1968 Movie Hero

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning: contains potential spoilers for Beware the Planet of the Apes #4!

Planet of the Apes has introduced a new species of ape to the mythos, and they are being led by one of the original 1968 film’s heroes. Marvel’s Beware the Planet of the Apes, a prequel to the classic movie starring Charlton Heston, has blown up the franchise’s mythos by introducing new elements to the lore. In a preview for issue four, one of these new additions rises to take its place.

Beware the Planet of the Apes #4 is written by Marc Guggenheim and drawn by Alvaro Lopez. Cornelius, Zira and Nova, along with a group of telepathic humans, have entered the Hominidae Empire. The Empire has kidnapped Zira’s nephew, Lucius. Cornelius stumbles across a Hominidae prison, where Gibbons' apes were being kept as a servant class. Cornelius then stages a prison break, telling the apes they are now free.

As Guggenheim and Lopez continued to develop the threat of the Hominidae Empire, another shocking revelation was made: they captured and enslaved other apes. The Gibbons’ apes Cornelius discovers in the preview are one such class of primates. Considered some of the fastest apes on Earth, these creatures should not be as easily conquered as they were. The subjugation of the Gibbons’ apes was another symbol of the Hominidae Empire’s power and cruelty.

Related Planet of the Apes' Controversial Original Ending Is Actually Available The Planet of the Apes cut its original ending - in which Nova is pregnant with Taylor's child - but the late-stage change didn't happen everywhere.
