The matter of Nova is yet another intriguing piece to the puzzle that is War for the Planet of the Apes, too.
Taking place just two years after the events of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the newest film picks back up with Caesar as a battle-hardened, cold war leader looking to find some way to finish the war between his people and what’s left of humanity.
Now, the previous two Planet of the Apes prequel films haven’t necessarily been shy about containing Easter eggs or nods back to the original films, but this is without a doubt the largest connection that has been featured yet.
Being part of what is already one of the most critically-acclaimed and interesting blockbuster franchises currently active, the question of how the next Planet of the Apes installment either continues or finishes Caesar’s story makes it that much more exciting of a film.
