Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes!
While Kevin Durand and Peter Macon’s Proximus Caesar are two of the most important characters in the cast of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, those characters don’t account for any percentage of screen time in this recent addition to the 2024 movie calendar. However, it turns out that those two paths crossed some time before the events of the latest Planet of the Apes movie. This revelation comes from Kingdom producers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, who told me they knew the quirky beyond Proximus and Raka, and now I need to see it explored on the big screen.
Jaffa and Silver have been an integral component of the Planet of the Apes franchise since they were hired to produce and write 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the first installment of the existing continuity. So, understandably, I was thrilled to be able to speak with Just a few days after the release of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which is set “several generations” after 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes. Because of all the time that has passed, I am curious about Jaffa. Silver and his collaborators. We have a transparent history between the Caesar eras of Any Serkis and Proximus that is set in canon, and Jaffa responded:
In fact, there are. It is not specified that after Caesar, the next ruler was his son or anything like that. But we have a very transparent concept of what gave rise to someone like Proximus. . . and Raka too. How Raka and Caesar’s Order ended up where they did. where was the Proximus channel. . . How it all happened. There’s a moment in the movie where Kevin does a wonderful job as Proximus, when he says this line: “And that old orangutan. “It was planned in the script. It means that I knew Raka, that I knew those characters. So yes, like I said, it’s not exact, but we have a very accurate map of what happened.

Although we are informed that Raka’s wife was killed by Proximus’ foot soldiers while searching for Mae from Freya Allan, it is appealing to know that Proximus knew about the orangutan and his studies of Caesar’s teachings before all of this, or even knew him directly. he. I’m curious if Proximus heard of Raka before or after he came to power, but anyway, they evidently didn’t see him as a sufficient threat, in a different way, Proximus would have killed Raka long before Owen Teague’s Noa arrived. here for him. Unfortunately, Proximus was found to be indirectly to blame for Raka’s disappearance. . . Or at least, that’s what it turns out to be at the moment.
Shortly after Noa and Raka learned that Mae can also simply talk, a quirk she revealed to the public beforehand, the trio discovered through Proximus’ soldiers, led by gorilla Sylva. During the combat that ended with the capture of Noa and Mae, the human woman was nearly swept into the river under the bridge where they were attacked, and Raka rescued her, only to be dragged away himself. At the end of the Realm of the Planet of the Apes, Raka is presumed dead, but since then we have never noticed a body, possibly he would have controlled it to survive. Whether he did or not, if Raka and Proximus ever met, it would be wonderful to see it explored in a flashback or, if I can take my picture here. , in a prequel.
Well, maybe such a prequel is too much to ask, but given Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ strong performance at the box office in its opening weekend, there’s a strong chance that a sequel will get the green light, or maybe even the entirety of a new trilogy that Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver have already said they expect the movie to be released. While we wait for news on this, all previous Planet of the Apes videos can be streamed with a Hulu subscription.
