The Planet of the Apes franchise continues next weekend with the big screen debut of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, director Wes Ball's first film in the series. This next chapter of the story follows a trilogy of films centered around the character of Caesar, an ape played by Andy Serkis that lead a revolution and changed the world for his kind.
Peter Macon plays a character named Raka in Kingdom, an ape who is something of a historian and clings tightly to what he believes were Caesar's ideals. Speaking to ComicBook ahead of the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes premiere, Macon opened up about the connections to Caesar. "There was only so much that was actually useful in the other films, in what Caesar was," Macon told us."The 'apes shall not kill apes, apes together strong, and apes and humans live side by side.' Because the idea that stories and fables tend to outlive the truth. They tend to get morphed, the truth get morphed into stories and fables as we tell them generation after generation after generation.
"That was useful and then I had to sort of make it all up, backstory wise, and check in with the writers and with Wes to make it all fall into some vague sense of order. And I think at the end of the day that's the best thing because it leaves the audience with room to sort of think about and figure stuff out, too."
