Mae looking frustrated, gazes at the horizon while a man looks at her in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes star Freya Allan reveals new details about Mae's backstory that were cut from the film. The human Mae is pursued by Proximus Caesar and his followers from the beginning of the story, but her true motivations remain a secret for much of the runtime.
Well, originally, she went with a camp, so she was backed. She was going with people, and this was not the plan. Her camp was attacked, and all those people died. So she’s the only one left, and she’s fully out in the wilderness with nothing and no one. So she has to resort to making Noa her teammate because she’s got no one else. That was not the plan, though, so a lot of it is gradually figuring what to do next.
Concealing Mae's Backstory Was Crucial To Pulling Off Kingdom's Biggest Twist Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' biggest twist is the revelation of a sophisticated, well-equipped group of humans in hiding and working to reestablish communication with other humans, and that Mae was on a mission for them the entire time. This plot twist wouldn't have worked if too much of Mae's backstory had been revealed.
While the humans on Mae's mission were killed by Proximus' minions, they were likely able to put up more of a fight than the more animalistic humans living in the wild. Showing this massacre would've teased too much of the community and resources that Mae had, stripping away much of the mystery and intrigue that made her character compelling, and potentially spoiling Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' ending.
