Who's this new ape in the latest Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes movie? The new villain is called Proximus Caesar. "Proximus" means "next" in Greek, suggesting he's the next Caesar. While the name might make you think he's Caesar's descendant, he actually has more in common with Koba since they're both bonobos. Director Wes Ball mentioned that he wouldn't even call Proximus a villain; he's a fan of humans and knows more about them than any other ape in the story. It's believed that Proximus was connected to the elders of Caesar's teachings and legacy. Proximus twisted these teachings for his own gain, pretending to have a deeper connection to Caesar than anyone else. In the end, Proximus has no redeeming qualities and is a tyrant seeking to dominate both apes and humans. He's also a blatant hypocrite who doesn't hold himself to the same standards as everyone else.
