Andy Serkis stars for a third time as ape leader Caesar in the sci-fi film 'War for the Planet of the Apes.' 20th Century Fox
SPOILER ALERT: The following includes major details about the dramatic end of War for the Planet of the Apes. Stop reading now if you haven’t seen it.
After battles against oppressive soldiers, ape leader Caesar (Andy Serkis) brought his clan to a promised, safe land in War for the Planet of the Apes.
“He's like the ape Moses,” says director Matt Reeves. “We wanted the movie to be, on a certain level, a biblical epic.”
War marks the end for Serkis' Caesar in the trilogy, which started with 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Each film has brought the human- and ape-filled world closer to 1968's Planet of the Apes, a future (set in the year 3978) where apes rule over mute human slaves.
“We have the 1968 movie. It exists,” says Reeves. “Instead of 'What happens?' our story becomes 'How does it happen?' You watch as these characters take us from here to there."
Here are three key characters who make that bridge to the original:
Nova points a light
The mute child Nova (Amiah Miller) highlights a spreading disease in War that robs humans of their ability to speak. Fans of the 1968 film know it features a mute slave woman named Nova, played by Linda Harrison.
War's Nova suggests the beginning of humans losing speech, eventually evolving into an entirely voiceless population.
“We’re not proposing that this is the same Nova,” says Reeves. “But the humans that are left in (the current) movies so far are speaking, they are not far removed from us. So we posit the idea of what takes us toward the (non-speaking) humans of the 1968 movie.”
Bad Ape suggests there could be evil apes
Bad Ape (Steve Zahn), an innocent chimpanzee who has survived human onslaught on his own, marks a major story point: He shows that there could be other apes or ape groups in the world surviving without Caesar's moral leadership.
“Maybe in the future, the conflicts wouldn’t just be between humans and apes, but between apes and apes of a different philosophy or value system,” says Reeves.
These bad primates could take control of the ape society and send it into an immoral direction. “So we see how we could get further and further toward the 1968 movie without this story really being about getting there.”
But Caesar will not be moving forward
Caesar quietly and proudly dies after arriving in the promised land from wounds that went unnoticed by his followers. Reeves says Caesar's death was necessary to pave the way for the ape to become a revered, even worshiped future figure.
“This was about how Caesar becomes the seminal figure in all ape history. This was, in a weird way, about the birth of a religion,” says Reeves. “The idea would be that, if Caesar could pass this test, he would deliver his kind and myths would be created about him. He would become a legend.”
Serkis believes the noble death befitted Caesar.
“It’s selfless and there’s an honor to it,” says Serkis. “He’s got his people where he needs them to be, there is optimism. He’s played his part."
As to whether another Apes chapter is told, that will depend on War’s performance at the box office. But Reeves, who next directs Ben Affleck in The Batman, is game.
“I wouldn’t describe it as a plan. But I have ideas for where the story goes,” he says. “I love this franchise and I hope to continue with it. It would be great to tell more stories.”
