Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is finally here, with the highly anticipated continuation of the modern Planet of the Apes movies now available to watch. The film is set 300 years after War for the Planet of the Apes, with it following Noa, a member of a small ape tribe that sets off on a major journey after his village is attacked by a massive Caesar-worshiping kingdom. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes sets up a new Planet of the Apes trilogy, one that Caesar may end up having a surprising role in.
Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes Sets Up A Remake Of Escape From The Planet Of The Apes
It Secretly Lays The Groundwork
To the surprise of many, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes may be secretly setting up a remake of one of the franchise’s weirdest sequels: Escape from the Planet of the Apes. Escape from the Planet of the Apes picks up right after Beneath the Planet of the Apes, with some apes escaping the destruction of Earth in a spacecraft. However, they accidentally enter a time warp and are sent back to 1970s Earth, with the future apes interacting with humans well before the downfall of humanity only a few decades later.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes takes several big steps to set up this Escape from the Planet of the Apes remake, with it majorly focusing on the theme of ape and human coexistence. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes also hints at space travel appearing in the sequel, and it would be really weird to have space travel in Planet of the Apes without time travel. It is possible that the underground humans at the end of the film could use time travel to go back in time and stop the apes, setting up an exciting sequel.
Noa & The Evolved Apes Can Meet Caesar Through Time Travel
Going Back To Rise
If time travel truly does happen, then Noa and the evolved apes can potentially meet Caesar through time travel. If the humans are going to go back in time and stop the ape uprising, then it would make sense for them to start at the events of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, stopping Caesar from leading the apes on their first big conquest. Noa and the other evolved apes would obviously want to stop the humans, meaning that they could go back in time as well and unite with Caesar to continue the fight against humans.
This would be perfect for an Escape from the Planet of the Apes remake, as that film and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes actually chronicles Caesar’s upbringing as he leads the apes in their conquest of Earth. In the original series, Caesar is born by the future apes and left in the past. Caesar’s mother was already seen in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but having Noa and the gang meet Caesar through time travel is close enough that it would keep all of Escape from the Planet of the Apes‘ major details.
Going Back To Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes Remakes 1 Big Detail From The Original
POTA Can Bring Back The Causal Loop
Having Noa and the other apes play a role in Caesar’s conquest from Rise of the Planet of the Apes is perfect, as it actually remakes one big detail from the original. In the original Planet of the Apes timeline, Cornelius and Zira go back in time and give birth to Milo, who is renamed Caesar and left in the past. After he grows up, Caesar leads the uprising that causes the global nuclear war which eventually creates the planet of the apes, allowing Cornelius and Zira to evolve and go back in time.
This causal loop is incredibly important to Planet of the Apes, highlighting that the destruction of humanity was inevitable. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes 2 using time travel would allow the film to establish its own causal loop, building off of the remake hints that are teased in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
