Rise Planet Of The Apes Cast ^hot^ Jun 2026

A brilliant scientist at Gen-Sys Laboratories. Will is driven by a desire to cure his father’s Alzheimer’s. He adopts Caesar and raises him as a son, creating a surrogate family dynamic. The Performance: Franco brings a necessary earnestness to the role. He isn't a villain; he is a man blinded by good intentions. His chemistry with Serkis (despite Serkis being a man in a grey suit with dots on his face during filming) sells the father-son bond that anchors the first act.
