The new iteration in the franchise will continue the trilogy’s narrative and"legacy"of Caesar.

Jaffa compared Caesar to the biblical figure Moses:

“Certainly his legacy does.

One is as you push forward you have to tell something fresh and new.

You cant just be rehashing stuff you’ve already done.

Proximus doesnt have that.

Hes really hijacked Caesars legacy for his own gain and its a natural progression, I think.

Its very human, also.

Theres this idea that an apes reach should exceed his grasp… Hes excited, you know?”

I would say hes on a journey to get to there."

With this franchise, the question, ‘Can human and ape live side by side?’

is a question that we ask again and again, and Noa is grappling with that very question.

But also discovery of the outside world and Caesar is a big part of that."
