He suggested that other filmmakers might work on the sequel and that it could take place hundreds of years after War. Bomback felt that 'there was probably only one more big chapter left to tell', explaining how Caesar 'came to be this Moses figure in the Apes world'.

Reeves said that Steve Zahn's character, Bad Ape, established a primate world 'much larger' than just Caesar's group of apes, adding that there are apes 'who grew up without the benefit of Caesar's leadership' and suggesting that conflict would arise if Caesar's apes should encounter such outsiders. In mid-2017, as War was released, Reeves and co-writer Mark Bomback expressed further interest in sequels.

In October 2016, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) and War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) director Matt Reeves said that he had ideas for a fourth film in the Planet of the Apes reboot series.
