15 Predictions For Next Summer's Biggest Movies
2. Caesar Dies In War For The Planet Of The Apes
The Prediction: As the titular war between ape and humankind takes off, it'll be Caesar (Andy Serkis) who, after narrowly surviving the events of the previous movie, finally bites the bullet at the end of this one. It just makes too much sense, right?
Why It Might Not Happen: The real reason this may not happen is because it's simply too damn obvious: basically everyone's expecting it, so why not have him live and endure as an icon regardless of the franchise's future?
It's possible that the movie's climactic death scene will instead go to Woody Harrelson's Colonel character, though it depends upon exactly how sympathetic he ends up being (considering humanity's track record in these movies isn't so hot).
