The Colonel in War for the Planet of the Apes, as was previously reported, is being portrayed by acclaimed Hunger Games and True Detective veteran, Woody Harrelson.
War for the Planet of the Apes opens in U.S. theaters on July 14th, 2017.
In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel.
By that point, three years will have passed since the theatrical release of the last Apes installment, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes; a sequel to 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, itself a prequel/reboot film that introduced the world to the genetically-altered chimpanzee named Caesar (played via motion-capture by Andy Serkis).
