Over the course of three films, the character aged, found a life partner, and even fathered children. The rebooted Planet of the Apes series is in many ways Caesar's story. Caesar had quite the personal journey from Rise to War the intelligent evolved chimpanzee was the first of his kind, led the Ape Army, and was a key figure in the Ape Rebellion. Instead, the series was rebooted a decade later via 2011's Rise. Although the film performed well financially, its disappointing critical reception is likely why the studio did not produce a sequel. Despite the film's star-studded cast, which includes Mark Wahlberg, Tim Roth, and Helena Bonham Carter, the film received mixed reviews from critics. The studio previously attempted to reboot the franchise with the 2001 film Planet of the Apes, directed by Tim Burton. The first film in the trilogy, Rise, is a reboot of Fox's highly-successful franchise, which began with the original film Planet of the Apes in 1968, and includes several sequel films (released in the first half of the 1970s) and even an animated TV series (1975).

Caesar's story ended so well in War for the Planet of the Apes, the last instalment of the PotA franchise, that it would be difficult for writers to continue the story. Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in March 2019, and has since announced its plans to continue Fox's highly-successful Planet of the Apestrilogy however, it remains unclear if the project(s) in development will be a continuation of the trilogy or a reboot.
