With Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes introducing a new protagonist, Noa (played by Owen Teague), and a post-Caesar world filled with warring factions of intelligent apes, the next film is rumored to continue exploring the evolution of both apes and the remnants of humanity.
Some sources claim that the next installment will delve deeper into the surviving human populations, potentially introducing a faction capable of challenging the apes’ dominance. Kevin Durand’s villainous ape Proximus Caesar may not be the last warlord to rise, with other factions beginning to form their own rival civilizations.
