'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' star Owen Teague breaks down that pivotal ending twist and what it means for future films in the franchise.
Sydney Bucksbaum is a writer at Entertainment Weekly covering all things pop culture – but TV is her one true love. She currently lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Chicago so please don't make fun of her accent when it slips out., and in this distant future, apes have fully taken over while humans were believed to be primitive, mute, feral creatures.
Noa leads his clan back home to rebuild their destroyed village, while Mae takes the key back to her people where they are able to install it and bring all the ancient satellites back online, allowing all the other intelligent humans in the world to finally contact each other. This is clearly only the beginning of this new chapter in the franchise.
Noa , Freya Allan, and Raka in 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes'.Now that Noa and Mae have helped usher in a new age of humanity, star Teague hopes to return for another movie and continue this story. "I hope the chances are big," he tells"More than anything, I want to get to do another one of these because it was so much fun. I think it's a really special movie and character — I'm quite attached to Noah.
But where Noa — and the rest of the apes and humans — go from here is hard for Teague to think about. "In terms of what I hope to see — God, it's hard to know where things are going to go," he admits with a laugh. "It depends on what the writers want to do and what story we want to tell next. But I think Noa has figured out who he is in this movie, and he's figured out what's going on in the world.
"I don't know what the humans are going to do, but I think it's going to be really interesting to see Noa get pushed and have to deal with the truth of our history," he says. "I don't know how he'll react. There's a couple ways we could go. It might be that Noa steps up — he's got this beautiful hope within him and maybe he'll follow that. Or maybe Proximus is a louder voice and has influenced Noa to go down a darker road.
