Multiple outlets report that a new Planet of the Apes movie is in the works, albeit in very early stages of development. The studio has teamed with Maze Runner filmmaker Wes Ball to bring to life another installment Planet of the Apes. 

It is unclear whether the film will be a remake of War for the Planet of the Apes, the last film in the most recent trilogy of the successful franchise or will pick up the Matt Reeves-directed feature left off.

According to Variety, the new film in the franchise marks the first major IP from the Fox library that Disney is developing on its own since the Fox-Disney merger.

The original Planet of the Apes film debuted in 1968.

The live-action feature based on David Peterson’s Mouse Guard series is described as Game of Thrones with mice. The series, created, penned and illustrated by Peterson, tells the story of a brotherhood of mice sworn to serve their fellow mice in a medieval world.

Should he join the production, Elba will star opposite Andy Serkis and Thomas Brodie-Sangster who are already on the call sheet. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Elba is in final negotiations to star as legendary champion Celanawe, “an Obi-Wan Kenobi-like figure who was once a legendary champion and now thought long gone.” Serkis is set to portray the villainous blacksmith Midnight and Brodie-Sangster will play Lieam, one of the Mouse Guard’s youngest members, who must prove his bravery.

Set to direct Fox’s adaptation of the Boom! Studios comic is Wes Ball (Maze Runner).

Production is expected to begin late May.
