Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes stars Peter Macon and Kevin Durand cast doubt on Raka and Proximus’ death during an interview at San Diego Comic-Con. The latest installment in the Planet of the Apes franchise is directed by Wes Ball, with a story that takes place hundreds of years after Caesar’s death. The new movie follows young ape Noa (Owen Teague) as he embarks on a quest with Mae (Freya Allan), a human, with both characters encountering the wise Raka (Macon) and the villainous ape Proximus Caesar (Durand).
During a recent interview with Screen Rant at SDCC, Macon and Durand question their characters deaths in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Check out their comments below:
Peter Macon: Did you see [Raka] die? I didn’t see him die. Did you see him die? I saw [Proximus] kind of fall…
Kevin Durand: I didn’t die! Shut up, Raka. “I didn’t see you die, but you fell from a very big height.” Stop putting that out in the universe.
Peter Macon: No, I’m saying you’ll come back formidable, bro. Just broken and beat up.
Kevin Durand: Okay. That’s what you meant. I feel like he still believes in his ideology and the way that he interpreted Caesar’s words, but I think he has definitely been humbled. It’d be very interesting to see if or when he climbs out of the water. I don’t know. I really have no idea what comes of that.
I can’t help but think there would be humility there, but I don’t know. He sees something in Noa that he’s never seen in another ape and I think he would love to somehow be a part of that, whether it be to manipulate it to make his own. I have no idea.
More to come…
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Set several years after the events of War for the Planet of the Apes, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the next installment in the Apes saga. Ape clans have taken up residence in the oasis that Caesar sought to colonize, but humans have reverted to their animalistic nature in their absence. Now battling between enslavement and freedom, outliers in the Ape clans will take sides in a newly burgeoning society.
