Matt Shakman is officially trading the Marvel “Sacred Timeline” for a world where humanity is firmly at the bottom of the food chain. 20th Century Studios has tapped the director to shepherd the next installment of the Planet of the Apes franchise. A ‘Fantastic’ Reunion Shakman isn’t making the jump to the forbidden zone alone. He is reuniting with screenwriter Josh Friedman. Friedman penned both Shakman’s Fantastic Four: First Steps and the previous simian hit, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Friedman has become the franchise’s secret weapon. Kingdom swung through the box office to a tune of $400 million on a $160 million budget. With this duo at the helm, the studio is clearly looking to maintain the momentum of a series that has grossed over $2 billion globally across the last 15 years. The Pedigree of a Showrunner While plot details are currently being kept in a high-security enclosure, Shakman’s track record suggests a blend of high-concept

After making audiences collectively cringe at the sight of a cheese grater in 2023’s Evil Dead Rise, director Lee Cronin is trading urban high-rises for ancient sand. Having turned demonic family trauma into a $147 million profit, Cronin has been handed the keys to the Universal tomb. And his latest project, The Mummy, is currently haunting theaters and prepares to invade homes on Digital this May. This Isn’t Your 90s Adventure. If you’re expecting a charming, wisecracking Brendan Fraser, you’re looking in the wrong sarcophagus. Revealed in late 2024 as a complete reimagining of the classic monster, Cronin’s trade humor for haunting terror. According to Cronin, this version is “unlike any Mummy movie you’ve ever laid eyeballs on.” In his world, that usually means those eyeballs are lucky to stay in their sockets. The film returns the character to its roots: a terrifying, ancient force of nature. The Cast of Casualties The story centers on a family that probably should
