Planet of the Apes Revisits the Original Movies
There Are Plenty of New Secrets for Nova to Uncover
In the original 1968 movie , Nova is a human who escape imitator society with time - move astronaut George Taylor . Like most future homo , Nova is unable to talkand is do by as a severe but useful animal by the apes . Now , her unseen account will be give away , including a mission into the Forbidden Zone - the radioactive ruins of human civilization , in which lie in the darkest mystery of Earth ’s future . The Forbidden Zone is also the nursing home of the dealership ’s mutated humans - a freakish secret cult who have psychic ability and idolize an unexploded atomic gimmick .
Nova very much plays 2d violin in the original movies , so it will be great to see her past and agency expanded with a prequel dangerous undertaking - especially one which promises to uncover new secrets . In the original picture show , Lucius helps Taylor escape , and the idea that the imitator is repaying a favor done by Nova would be a smart retcon . Guggenheim say :
I ’ve been entertained and fascinate by Planet of the Apes ever since I develop a Mego Doctor Zaius wench as a natal day present tense , and my local television station run for the original pentalogy every good afternoon for a week in the summertime . In many ways , Apes is one of the OG franchises , filled with closed book , fascinating characters , and some truly off - the - wall surprise . That ’s the life I ’m work to evoke with BEWARE THE PLANET OF THE anthropoid .

However , many different destiny had been planned for her - the planned but unmadePlanet of the Mensequel saw Nova raise the next generation of humanity , with her son Sirius eventually snuff it to war with the apes . Meanwhile , in the ongoingPlanet of the Apesmovies , Amiah Miller ’s Nova was introduced in 2017’sWar for the Planet of the Apesand is far younger . In that persistence , she is adopted by Maurice , hinting at the potential for emulator / human unity .
Given theoriginalPlanet of the Apestimelineis only in effect for the first two movies , there ’s a immense amount prequel comics can do to flesh out the world and characters fans recognise . Hopefully , Marvel ’s newBeware the Planet of the Apescomic will take some big swings , since - as Guggenheim orient out - nothing could be truer to the original canon .
