Dichen Lachman Goes Bananas: Joins Cast of ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ (movie news).

In a surprising turn of events, Dichen Lachman, star of the hit show “Severance”, has left her human roots behind and joined the cast of “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”. Lachman, who is known for playing the enigmatic Ms. Casey on Apple TV, will trade in her yoga mats for bananas as she takes on an undisclosed role in the latest installment of the long-running franchise.

But what part will Lachman be take in the film? Will she be joining the chest-beating cast as a wise old chimp dispensing sage advice, or will she be the rogue orangutan shaking things up with her mischievous antics? Sources close to the production remain tight-lipped, but one thing’s for sure – with the addition of Lachman to the already impressive roll call of Freya Allan, Owen Teague, and William H. Macy, this film will be a wild ride.

In the next movie, occuring many years after “War for the Planet of the Apes”, the apes have built thriving societies while humans have regressed to a feral existence. But with one ape leader on the hunt for human technology and another on a quest for freedom, the stage is set for a battle for the ages. With Lachman’s talent for playing complex characters, we’re sure she’ll bring a new level of depth to the film.

As shooting gets underway in Australia, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”. With Lachman’s impressive resume, including her role in 2022’s “Jurassic World Dominion”, her recurring roles in “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” and “The CW’s The 100”, and her performance in “Severance”, she will be a standout addition to this latest Planet of the Apes installment.
