It’s a time-honored tradition for most planet of the apes sequel is a long title with a unique and appropriate first word.So far there have been below, escape, conquer, fight, rise, dawn, and war. The tradition will continue next week kingdom of the planet of the apes According to director Wes Ball, this was always the title he wanted his movie to have. But he does have another title. It’s reminiscent of another franchise that also started at Fox and ended up at Disney.
“I have two different titles” the director told io9 this week. “I came in during the pitch and I made two pieces of concept art. One was Empire of the Planet of the Apes and have kingdom of the planet of the apes Because the whole idea is that it was the first kingdom to start forming. This king is the first king ape. Obviously, we couldn’t make “Empire,” which sounds cool… we just kept trying to think of different things, [Kingdom] Keep at it.
The king Bauer refers to is Proximus Caesar, Played by Kevin Duran. Proximus was a boisterous leader who founded what he believed to be the first kingdom of apes. To this end, he actively and sometimes violently sought knowledge and technology. To explain more would be a spoiler.

“This is an important franchise for the studio,” Ball said great ape Movie. “It would be naive to think that this is just one [installment]. I think we went into it to make sure it was a satisfying story, but with a little coda that… hopefully offered a lot of hope. If we’re lucky enough to make more, you’ll want to see more. This is my idea.
