Woody Harrelson Cast As ‘War Of The Planet Of The Apes’ Villain!

It’s been reported that Woody Harrelson has been cast as one of the leading human roles in Fox’s upcoming War of the Planet of the Apes. It’s still early on, so plot details are still unknown, but Harrelson will be playing a character called the Colonel (pretty original, huh?).

It’s still unclear what actors will be returning to the new movie, which will continue the story of Caesar, the evolved ape who is brought to life via motion capture by Andy Serkis. Matt Reeves, who directed 2014’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, has returned to helm War, with Mark Bomback also back as screenwriter.

Are you down with the casting? Anyone else you’d rather see as villain? War of the Planet of the Apes hits theatres on July 14th, 2017!
