A new “Planet of the Apes” movie is in the works at Disney and Fox in what will be the first feature in the franchise since Disney acquired Fox. And the studio has tapped Wes Ball, the director of “The Maze Runner,” to develop and direct the new film, and individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
The project is described as in the early development stages, and it’s not clear whether this will be a continuation of the trilogy that recently concluded with Matt Reeves’ “War for the Planet of the Apes” in 2017, or whether it’s a full reboot or a separate standalone film.

Nova will never know what she missed...And while the astronauts were in space, there will have been a terrible disease that wiped out all the cats, dogs and straight white males.
A few days ago, indications arose that suggested another reboot was in store. Today, the film’s director Wes Ball has shot down that talk, saying on Twitter:
“It’s never been easier for film journalists to actually get in touch with the actual people who actually know… but maybe it’s the point to NOT fact-check these days? Regardless. Don’t worry. I won’t ruin the surprises, but it’s safe to say Caesar’s legacy will continue.”
Sounds promising.The next film's not a reboot.......
