The new ape ruler shown in the trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has either perverted Caesar's teachings or ignored them entirely.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The first look at Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes revealed plenty about the world as it exists several generations after Caesar first led his ape colony to freedom, but the most significant element is the tyrannical new ape ruler.
Story details for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes have been largely kept under wraps, but there is some available information about the basic premise, and who the main characters are. In the time since Caesar's passing, multiple ape colonies have arisen under different ape leaders, and while Caesar's original colony might maintain his original philosophy, others have perverted it in favor of violence and slavery over humans and apes alike.
Apes are seen using some sort of taser-like staff on their fellow apes, and one even rides a fellow ape down on horseback. This level of ape-on-ape violence hasn't been seen since the brief reign of Koba in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and it flies in the face of everything that Caesar stood for. Apes also hunt humans, which is a callback to the original Planet of the Apes and a display of how humans are treated almost like cattle at this point in ape history.
Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes Will Show Caesar's True Legacy Caesar's teachings are probably followed by many, but with varying interpretations Close As evidenced by the trailer, there are some apes left in the world that align with Caesar's original views on ape and human coexistence.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will, at its heart, be an exploration of Caesar's legacy across the world. The conflict between those who share Caesar's beliefs and those who would twist them for their own purposes will be central to the movie's story, and the functionality of the new ape civilizations as a whole. While Caesar is long gone from the world, his teachings will continue to shape the lives of both apes and humans and how they interact with each other.
