The latest installment in the ongoing Planet of the Apes series is now playing, featuring a villain inspired by Elon Musk. The film, titled Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, introduces audiences to the character Proximus Caesar, played by Kevin Durand, who bears a resemblance to Musk. Despite the comparison, Durand admires Musk’s charisma and power.
The movie, produced by Disney’s 20th Century-Fox division, has received mixed reviews for its lack of originality in setting and storytelling. The focus on CGI apes in the jungle has drawn criticism for being repetitive. However, some fans of the franchise have enjoyed the evolution of the series over the years.
Despite the controversy surrounding Musk and the film’s lack of innovation, the Planet of the Apes movies continue to be popular with audiences. Whether or not this new installment will live up to the expectations of fans remains to be seen.
