Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes picks up many generations after the events of War of the Planet of the Apes and follows a new young hero named Noa, Chimpanzee from the Eagle Clan. Noa is thrust into a journey to find his loved ones after strange apes covered in metal attack his village. Along the way, he meets Raka, an orangutan devoted to an ancient ape named Caesar, and Mae, an enigmatic human girl who is being hunted.

Freya Allan: Yeah, that was definitely something to figure out was how is Mae going to play a feral human? So it was a double layered thing to get my head around. I think I was very much leaning on this kind of rabbit in headlights quality. a woodlouse; physically I felt very much like I was always very small.

Peter Macon: Because it's all they have. That's all he has left, that's all that's left of Caesar. Even though he wasn't around the legacy of Caesar and then these simple rules, not rules, but these simple philosophies or simple worldviews that apes shall not kill apes, apes together strong, and apes and humans live side by side.

Peter Macon: The irony behind that is, is that he's not 100% correct. That's what I mean by stories and fables lasting longer than the truth. The truth of the matter is when humans and apes lived side by side apes were in cages, and that's exactly what Proximus rebelling against. That's a sad irony that even though his worldview is inclusive, he's a little off on his math. I think that that's a lot like life, we're a little off on our math.

So when I was playing that, there were some scenes that aren't in the film that were quite pivotal for me personally, that I really feel they connected because the people that they've loved have been killed by the same apes, if anything. If anything is symbolic of how similar they actually are it's that. And so I think there was kind of a great fear in that. So it was all about the complexity of acknowledging that, but wanting to stick to what you originally were out to do.

Peter & Freya Rave About Wes Ball's Excitement & "Inspiring" Directing Abilities Ball is a long-time fan of the franchise. He has discussed how he was enraptured by the original Planet of the Apes and his appreciation for Caesar as a great hero. That excitement is not only palpable when watching the movie but also in how he collaborated with the cast.
