Proximus Caesar Is Too Interesting Of A Character Not To Return In Kingdom’s Sequel

How Proximus Caesar Should Return

in the end , Koba ’s payoff never happened , but Proximus Caesar ’s should . After just one movie , it is clear thatProximus is an incredibly interesting quality with a lot to offerthe franchise . He is a perfect example of what Caesar was not : a covetous and cruel ruler with no esteem for finesse . In this manner , Proximus is the perfect raving mad card to throw into the next movie , or perhaps even the one after that . He is charismatic and helter-skelter enough to make a strong issue .

One particularly interesting path thatPlanet of the Apescould take is trying to redeem Proximus . In the earlierPlanet of the Apesmovies , Koba conjoin Caesar ’s side , only to rise against him subsequently . PerhapsProximus could also learn to become loyal to Noaand the good apes , making him even more sympathetic . Whether he arise later is up to the filmmakers to decide . Either room , thePlanet of the Apesfranchise would only profit from bringing back its new villain .
