Matt Reeves has revealed that James Franco will make an appearance in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
Franco took on the role of Will Rodman in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and it was believed that he would not be in the sequel.
However, director Reeves has announced that the actor will be making a cameo appearance.
Speaking to Collider, the director said: "Essentially the idea is that Caesar has ties to both communities, to the humans because he has a human father in Will, who died in the viral apocalypse, and then he has the apes who are his family now...
"We felt this movie is so much about his emotional perspective that in order to set that into a framework you needed to refer to essentially his father.
"So, in a way that I won't totally give away, we essentially have a moment where you have Caesar sort of reminiscing or connecting to who Will was and what he meant to him."
Reeves has taken over the director's chair from Rupert Wyatt, and brings together a great cast list that includes Gary Oldman, Andy Serkis, Keri Russell, Toby Kebbell and Jason Clarke.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is released 17th July.
