Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes star reveals Andy Serkis' secret role in the new movie
12.02.2024 - 17:22 / gamesradar.com / Andy Serkis / Wes Ball
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes actor Owen Teague has revealed how Andy Serkis – who played the iconic character of Caesar in the 2011-2017 rebooted trilogy – passed on the torch to the franchise newcomer.
In an exclusive interview with GamesRadar+, Teague explained that he had a number of virtual meetings with Serkis before the cameras started to roll. That advice from the veteran performance capture actor helped the 25-year-old embody the spirit of Noa, the ape character he portrays in the upcoming film.
“To start, I spoke to Andy on Zoom for an hour and a half in my apartment,” reveals Teague. “And then, he ended up meeting with the rest of the cast in ‘ape school’ over Zoom, where he would have conversations with us. He was really, really lovely and generous. He’s somebody that I have looked up to since I was six years old.”
“He passed the torch,” Teague confides in our interview. “Andy helped me feel good about going into this because he's done it for so long. One thing he said was, ‘It’s just acting. Approach it the same way as you would anything else. This is no different. You're putting on a costume of this ape, but you still do all the other work that you normally do.’ That was really good to hear.”
When it comes to being the new face of the blockbuster franchise, Teague admits there’s a ton of pressure on his shoulders. “It's terrifying,” he says with a smile on his face. “But it’s also amazing. It’s totally surreal. I never thought I would be leading a franchise that Andy Serkis previously led. That’s ridiculous to even say because one of the reasons I'm an actor is because I saw Andy doing Kong as a kid.”
Talking about the stress related to his important new role, Teague adds, “There’s definitely a lot of pressure. Fortunately, I didn't think about while we were actually filming, but now I'm feeling it. I hope he likes it. I hope he feels like we did a good job.”
During a trailer launch event in Los Angeles attended by GamesRadar+, director Wes Ball also revealed that Serkis served an advisor on the new movie, being happy to impart his advice to the cast and crew. And early on, the British actor was indeed considered for a role in the upcoming trilogy, even going in to read some lines.
“We thought, ‘Man, wouldn’t it be cool to bring Andy in to play another character,’” explains Ball. “At one point, he came in and read some lines against one of the actors – and you could just hear Caesar. We asked him to help, but it felt wrong [to add him to the cast]. We decided not to do it, but I talked to Andy a lot.”
Speaking further about Serkis’ behind-the-scenes role in the upcoming film, the director adds, “I showed him the script and I told him what the ideas were. I showed him the concept

Saint Maud director says her new romance thriller Love Lies Bleeding has unexpected parallels to the horror movie
On paper, Saint Maud and Love Lies Bleeding don't sound like they have very much in common. Other than both being directed by Rose Glass, the former is a quiet horror-esque tale about a nurse who slowly loses her grip on reality after a terrible workplace accident, while the former is a violent, '80s-set romance-thriller packed full of synth-pop anthems.

Our Brilliant Ruin explores the sickly crust of aristocracy left clinging to the edge of the world
On a planet that is not our own, in a timeline very different from ours, the last heirs of aristocracy cling to the shadows of a secluded mountain valley known as the Dramark. It’s only deep within the valley that a tiny, proud crust of civilization can be kept hidden from the Ruin (that’s what people call the light of the dying star that has been changing the countryside and its people for generations, turning them into monsters). Meanwhile, long-dead mechanical constructs called syllokinetics, automatons that were to be the people’s saviors, sit and wither on the horizon. Elsewhere, the Dramark’s lavish estates and their downstairs staff carry on as best they can.

The best movies of 2024 so far
Movies released during the first few months of any year have it pretty rough. They’re competing with all the prestige movies still in theaters after the end-of-year rush for awards qualifications, and they’re coming out in a season where a lot of people are still exhausted from holiday season, financially strained by it, or both. It’s easy to overlook new releases at the beginning of the year — but fortunately, it’s also easier than ever to catch up, given how many movies debut on streaming services these days and how quickly theatrical releases move to streaming.

Is Handsome Jack in the ‘Borderlands’ movie?
As with all video game adaptations, there has been some heated discourse surrounding the Borderlands film. Directed by horror icon, Eli Roth, the film struggled through development before finally being slated for release in 2024. Borderlands is based on the widely popular sci-fi first-person shooter of the same name and is admittedly not the easiest property to adapt. The first game is largely considered the weakest, with only a general overarching plot and no emotional character arc. Borderlands 2 is an entirely different matter, and that has a lot to do with the villainy of charismatic dictator, Handsome Jack.
