Typically, when you make tentpole movies like the one we made last time, and Jason Clarke, who’s my friend, Jason Clarke is not Tom Cruise.
But if we had Tom Cruise show up in this movie, you guys would be like, “Whaaaa?”
Renowned motion-capture actor Andy Serkis is the true star of the rebooted Planet of the Apes movie franchise, having now portrayed the ape revolutionary Caesar in both Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (released in 2011 and 2014, respectively).
And they were like,“That’s cool,” not like, “You’ve got to go get Tom Cruise,” who is great, too.
