Andy Serkis played Caesar in the previous Apes trilogy, but is he back?
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is heading into previews tonight, and the film marks the ninth installment of the franchise that began back in 1968. It was previously announced that the movie would take place between the previous trilogy and the original 1968 film. Director Wes Ball confirmed the film is set hundreds of years after War for the Planet of the Apes, which means fans aren't expecting to see Ceasar, the main ape played by Andy Serkis in the last three films.
Throughout the film, we learn that not every ape is aware of Ceasar's history whereas others have distorted his message for their own gain. Only Raka, the orangutan played by Peter Macon, has vast knowledge of Ceasar and his days on Earth, but even some of his so-called facts have been slightly distorted by time.
"I think so," Ball said when asked if you can watch Kingdom without having seen the previous films."They would be greatly rewarded by having knowledge of the previous movies, but it is certainly its own standalone story ... I am really hoping that an audience who goes to see this movie at least is aware that it is connected to other movies, even if they haven't seen them," Ball added, revealing an opening scene will"get people up to speed.
