New Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes Trailer Shows Off Big Bad Proximus
Proximus doesn’t look like a generous ruler in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. A new trailer for the upcoming sequel showcases the big bad’s ruthlessness, who lets it be known you “bend for your king.”
Debuting during the Super Bowl, the official trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes also touches on the simian-and-human relationship between Noa (The Stand’s Owen Teague) and Nova (The Witcher’s Freya Allen). In fact, Noa declares in the video seen below: “Apes hunt humans. That is wrong.”
To say this rubs Proximus (Lost and X-Men Origins: Wolverine actor Kevin Durand) the wrong way is an understatement. The tyrant lets Noa know in the trailer that “together, you will die.” The human Nova seems to be a primary target for the apes in the upcoming sequel. Noa learns this is because she’s “smarter than most,” but there also seems to be more behind the mystery.
