Although details about the character are being kept under wraps, The Hollywood Reporter says that Woody Harrelson has joined War of the Planet of the Apes as the Colonel, one of the main Human characters.

War is Matt Reeves follow up to last years' Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, which saw Andy Serkis' Caesar reluctantly lead the apes in a battle against the humans, thus shattering the flimsy peace and setting up the events of this next installment.

With plot details under lock and key, it's impossible to guess who will return for the third film, though both the director and screenwriter Mark Bomback have stated that in War Caesar will become a Moses type figure in a time of war against the Humans.

Other than Harrelson, Freedom Writers, A Better Life, and Aquarius actor Gabriel Chavarria is also set to star in the third installment of the new Apes franchise, though insiders says that his part his small.

War of the Planet of the Apes is scheduled to open in theaters on July 14, 2017.
