According to a new report by Deadline, The Right Kind of Wrong actress Sara Canning has been added to the cast of War For The Planet Of The Apes! While the details are kind of scarce at the time, it was revealed that she could possibly play a new ape character that will fight(?) alongside Caesar and his army! If that turns out to be true, this means she’ll have to join Andy Serkis, and put on that motion capture suit, and give us one hell of a performance!

Sara Canning (via twitter) shared her excitement about the announcement! Check out her tweet, then sound off below with your thoughts in the comment section below!

Filled with wild amounts of joy, to be a part of this brilliant team! https://t.co/vuJcK2ew2R

We're getting casting announcements for Apes in 2017, but so far very little about Marvel's 2017 films, Guardians Vol. 2.

In fact, we've gotten more info on Spiderman and Thor 3 as far as casting.

What gives, Gunn?
