Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ Kevin Durand Hints at Future Plans for Proximus Caesar
Kevin Durand isn’t ruling out Proximus Caesar’s return following the events of 2024’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Durand hinted that the future may have more in store for his villainous Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes character.
“Does Proximus crawl out of that ocean? You didn’t see his body,” Durand said. “You just saw a big splash. He’s a gigantic, magnificent creature, and given the density of that beast, did he make it? I don’t know … but I think that there is a chance [Proximus survived] in Apes.”
Speaking further about his character’s ideology, Durand said, “He knew that apedom would end up in cages. They’d end up on plates, being eaten; they’d be slaughtered. They would also be experimented on in laboratories, and by any means necessary, as quickly as he could, he had to do what he had to do. He had to get all the apes of the land to his kingdom, so that they could achieve this goal of getting this information. I don’t think he enjoys that he’s had to do what he’s had to do, but he just doesn’t have a choice.”
What is Kingdom of Planet of the Apes about?
“Director Wes Ball breathes new life into the global, epic franchise set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows,” reads the film’s synopsis. “As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.”
Directed by Wes Ball, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes also stars Owen Teague as Noa, Peter Macon as Raka, Freya Allan as Mae, and William H. Macy as Trevathan.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is currently playing in United States theaters.
