Rise of the Planet of the Apes star Freida Pinto has revealed she and co-star James Franco will not be appearing in the sequel.
According to Digital Spy, the Slumdog Millionaire actress, who played primatologist Caroline Aranha in the 2011 film, was unfazed by the decision. She said: “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes will be moving ahead with a whole new cast.
“The sequel’s on, but we’re not in it. It would have been great to do the sequel, but I don’t know how they would bring our characters back in.”
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is directed by Cloverfield’s Matt Reeves and will star Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Judy Greer, while Andy Serkis will reprise his role as Caesar the chimp.
The film is due to be released on May 23, 2014.
