Proximus [played by Kevin Durand] is a fantastically cool character, admits Ball.
He is a fan of humans.
You see it in the trailer.
He says how they were capable of great things.
They could level mountains.
They could speak across oceans.
They could fly like eagles fly.
He’s fascinated by what humans were and how they fell so far, so he studies them.
He knows more about humans than any other ape in our story.
In this landscape, the buildings of the former human world are now falling into disrepair and ruin.
Forests and greenery grows through the dilapidated, decaying remains of the skyscrapers that used to dominate the skyline.
Regardless, Caesars story still plays a significant role in the narrative.
The buildings are dissolving away, but what has happened to Caesars stories, his legacies and his teachings?
You will not see any Statue of Liberty in this movie, but there are Easter eggs he promises.
There are specific things that I think some of the die-hard fans will really appreciate.
That beach scene is very cool, explains actor Owen Teague, speaking exclusively to GamesRadar+ via Zoom.
That was the first thing we shot.
Obviously, the ship is not real in that scene.
Its CG, but they did build part of the ship just not for that shot.
It was kind of a warm-up day for me because it was the first time Noa was on camera.
The first teaser hinted at things, but it didnt really explain much.
This trailer really gives you a sense of what Noa is up against, which is Proximus.
Its exciting because Proximus is such a great character.
But how much does it play into the story of upcoming film?
This [fascination with space] is in the DNA of the movies, he tells GamesRadar+.
Thats what we touch on, essentially.
There’s more to come.
If we’re lucky enough, there are more ideas to come in two and three.
Theres none of that, but its an idea in the movie for sure.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is released in US and UK theaters on May 10.
