LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The intriguing new trailer for 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,' which was released on Tuesday, April 9, has left fans eagerly anticipating the film, offering exciting new glimpses into the evolution of the apes.

Directed by Wes Ball and written by Josh Friedman, the film is set to hit the silver screen on May 10, 2024.

The latest trailer for the film showcases breathtaking visuals, and jaw-dropping combat scenes, providing a closer look at the altered world where apes reign supreme with a major focus on Freya Allan's character of Mae.

As soon as the trailer was uploaded on YouTube, enthusiastic fans voiced their opinions and anticipations for the movie. 

The trailer, which focused heavily on Mae's character, suggested that humans had lost their ability to communicate. However, at the end of the video, things take a surprising turn when Mae speaks, leaving the chimpanzees dumbfounded and further piquing viewers' interest.

Sharing about the same, a fan said, "Shiver down my spine when she said 'I have a Name' OMG! Cannot wait for this film."

Another user expressed surprise at Mae's ability to speak, stating, "I really thought she cannot speak in whole movie but.. SHES FINALLY SPOKE AND I WAS SHOCKED LIKE THOSE APES CHARACTERS!"

"She can talk!! She can talk! She can talk!!, wrote another fan.

Fans speculated wild theories regarding Mae's character in 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Ape'

After the startling revelation about Mae, fans even proposed outlandish hypotheses about her character, suggesting she might be an astronaut.

A fan commented on the same, suggesting, "I think Mae is one of the astronauts of the spaceship that appears in the news of the first movie. They were going to Mars and the the spaceship disappeared in the space. Her clothes are very different of the other humans."

While another said, "Wait a minute! You don’t think she’s a astronaut who lost in space from the first movie."

Another admirer added to the theory, "It's starting to make sense now. Mae is likely one of those astronauts who disappeared in the beginning. She's likely an engineer, therefore Proximus wants her so she can build weapons for him and he can expand his empire. I just wish they had omitted this until the movies premiere so we can be shocked as well."

Additionally, fans argued that Mae's speaking scene held a surprising element that shouldn't have been revealed in a trailer.

One fan wrote, "Bro they should’ve saved that surprise for the movie like they did when Caesar spoke! "

About previous films, another fan wrote, "First we were stunned to hear Caesar speak, now we are surprised to see a human speak."

"I wish they kept the fact that she could talk a secret until the movie comes out similar to what rise did with Caesar and how they refilled he could talk when the movie released, "said another fan.

Fans were sent into a frenzy when the one-minute video also referred to the OG Caesar. A nostalgic fan said, "Yes they mentioned Caesar my guy" While another exclaimed, "ALL HAIL CAESAR!!"

The film, set to release on May 10, 2024, takes place exactly 300 years after the events of 'War for the Planet of the Apes', with Proximus Caesar (Kevin Durand) having flourished his crew beyond the oasis.

On the other hand, humans have devolved into a wild state, struggling to survive in the shadow of dominant ape civilizations.

In the middle of this, a young chimpanzee hunter named Noa (Owen Teague) sets out on a quest with a young woman named Mae (Freya Allan) to fight for a future where humans and apes can coexist in harmony.
