Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is out now in movie theaters, continuing the story of the ape takeover of Earth. Starting with the Rise of the Planet of the Apes reboot in 2011, we've watched as the apes first established their foothold of power while humanity's civilization waned. Kingdom takes place 300 years after the final film in director Matt Reeves' trilogy, War for the Planet of the Apes, and my how things have changed in the interim.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, directed by franchise newcomer Wes Ball, introduces viewers to a world much closer to what we saw in the original 1968 Planet of the Apes movie, with apes on the ascent and human "herds" largely incapable of speech. Starring Owen Teague as the heroic young chimpanzee Noa, Peter Macon as the orangutan Raka, The Witcher's Freya Allan as the fugitive human Mae, and Kevin Durand as sadistic bonobo demagogue Proximus Caesar, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes marks an exciting new chapter for one of science fiction's longest-running film franchises.
If you're fresh off seeing Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, you may be wondering if the movie features a post-credits scene. You're in the right place; we've seen the movie and have the answer for you below.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes end credit scene?
No, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes does not have a post-credits scene. After the credits are finished rolling, a brief audio clip of ape sounds plays. This doesn't seem to be a tease for a future film, but rather just a little stylistic endcap to the film's credits. As such, you really won't miss much of anything if you leave during the credits of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Kingdom of the Planet Apes is playing now in theaters! And if it's giving you the urge to go on an ape-fueled binge of the entire series, every movie in the franchise is easily available to stream online:
