Key Points:
- Nova, a human character from War for the Planet of the Apes, has a lasting impact on ape culture
- Apes in the future refer to all humans as “Nova,” solidifying her significance
- The film explores historical interpretation and connections to previous movies, emphasizing Nova’s legacy
Who is Nova, the Most Important Human in the Planet of the Apes?
In a recently released clip from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, two ape characters, Noa and Raka, encounter a human woman. Remarkably, Raka addresses her as “Nova,” explaining that apes call all humans by that name. This striking detail confirms that Nova, the young mute girl from War for the Planet of the Apes, left an indelible mark on ape society.
During the War, Nova was adopted by the wise ape Maurice and joined Caesar’s tribe, forming a close bond with the intelligent simians. Her impact was so profound that centuries later, in the world of the Kingdom, her name has become synonymous with the entire human race for the apes.
Nova’s Legacy Connects Kingdom to the Franchise’s Origins
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes‘ “Nova” revelation serves a dual purpose. Not only does it establish Nova as the most significant human character in the rebooted trilogy, but it also creates a clever link to the original 1968 Planet of the Apes film, which featured a character named Nova (played by Linda Harrison).
While the continuity of the reboots differs from the original series, this clever nod pays homage to the franchise’s roots. Whether Kingdom’s Nova is the same character from 1968 or merely shares her name, the reference underscores the film’s exploration of historical interpretation and the lasting ripples of past events.
