Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Director Likens Main Hero to Luke Skywalker & Frodo
The latest installment in the beloved Planet of the Apes franchise, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, will be led by a new ape, Noa, who, according to director Wes Ball, will bear similarities to some of the greatest heroes in cinematic history. Including Star Wars’ Luke Skywalker and The Lord of the Rings protagonist Frodo Baggins. Speaking with Total Film (who have also released a new image from the movie which you can check out below), Ball reveals that Noa is just like “iconic heroes like Lord of the Rings’ Frodo Baggins and Star Wars’ Luke Skywalker” and will undergo a “great transformation” after starting off “kind and nice.”
