After seeing his cut of ''Dawn'', [[20th Century Fox]] and [[Chernin Entertainment]] signed [[Matt Reeves]] to return as director for a third installment of the reboot series. In January 2014, the studio announced the third film, with Reeves returning to direct and co-write along with Bomback, and Peter Chernin, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver serving as producers.<ref name="Apes3Announcement">{{cite web |last=Fleming |first=Mike |url=https://deadline.com/2014/01/planet-of-the-apes-3-matt-reeves-director/ |title=Matt Reeves To Direct 'Planet Of The Apes 3' |website=Deadline Hollywood |date=7 January 2014 |access-date=18 October 2015 |archive-date=August 11, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140811214520/http://www.deadline.com/2014/01/planet-of-the-apes-3-matt-reeves-director/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://twitter.com/ERCboxoffice/statuses/423247836466401281 |title=Twitter / ERCboxoffice: The damn dirty apes will return yet again, as UNTITLED PLANET OF THE APES (not the official title) stakes out 7/29/16. |publisher=Twitter.com |date=14 January 2014 |access-date=11 June 2014 |archive-date=March 15, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160315221049/https://twitter.com/ercboxoffice/statuses/423247836466401281 |url-status=live }}</ref> During an interview in mid-November 2014 with [[MTV]], Andy Serkis said they did not know the next film's setting.

In interviews for ''Dawn'', Reeves talked about the inevitable war Caesar would have with the humans: "As this story continues, we know that war is not avoided by the end of ''Dawn''. That is going to take us into the world of what he is grappling with. Where he is going to be thrust into circumstances that he never, ever wanted to deal with, and was hoping he could avoid. And now he is right in the middle of it. The things that happen in that story test him in huge ways, in the ways in which his relationship with Koba haunts him deeply. It's going to be an epic story. I think you've probably read that I sort of described it where in the first film was very much about his rise from humble beginnings to being a revolutionary. The second movie was about having to rise to the challenge of being a great leader in the most difficult of times. This is going to be the story that is going to cement his status as a seminal figure in ape history, and sort of leads to an almost biblical status. He is going to become like a mythic ape figure, like [[Moses]]."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.slashfilm.com/matt-reeves-planet-of-the-apes-remake/ | title=Matt Reeves Talks About New 'Apes' Films Eventually Reaching the 1968 'Planet of the Apes' Story | author=Germain Lussier | publisher=Slashfilm | date=4 December 2014 | access-date=18 October 2015 | archive-date=October 28, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028032429/https://www.slashfilm.com/matt-reeves-planet-of-the-apes-remake/ | url-status=live }}</ref>

According to screenwriter Rick Jaffa, a version of the spaceship from the 1968 ''Planet of the Apes'' under the name ''[[Icarus (Planet of the Apes)|Icarus]]'' was in ''[[Rise of the Planet of the Apes]]'' (2011) as a deliberate hint to a possible sequel readapting the events of the original film, something the end of ''War'' also implies, featuring a younger version of the character Nova.<ref>{{cite web |website=IGN |url=http://movies.ign.com/articles/116/1161176p3.html |last=Collura |first=Scott |title=Visit the Planet of the Apes |date=14 April 2011 |access-date=16 April 2011 |archive-date=August 20, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110820121155/http://movies.ign.com/articles/116/1161176p3.html |url-status=live }}</ref> During an interview of Andy Serkis with [[MTV]] in mid-November 2014, Serkis talked about possible sequels: "It might be three films, It could be four.
