War for the Planet of the Apes trailer: Caesar must beware the ides of Woody Ha...

20th Century Fox has released the final trailer for Matt Reeves’ much-awaited War for the Planet of the Apes.

The trailer opens with some flashback dialogue from the first two movies, telling us about the falling relationship between the two races - humans and apes.

A squadron of captured humans finally meets Caesar and in disbelief they say, “You’re him... you’re Caesar. We’ve been searching for you for so long.”

Later, we are introduced to The Colonel, portrayed by Woody Harrelson, addressing his troops to “save humanity by abandoning our humanity.”

The trailer concludes with the Colonel, rappelling down a waterfall, to come face to face with Caesar.

The footage is dark and gritty and will be somewhat like the previous movie Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

This is the third movie in the Planet of the Apes reboot series. The two earlier films were 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes and 2014’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Helmed by Matt Reeves, the film stars Andy Serkis as Caesar and Woody Harrelson as The Colonel.

The film is slated to release on July 14.
