Do not adjust your TikTok – those are indeed apes on horseback on Venice Beach, Los Angeles. Well, notreally.We’re going to assume they’re people dressed up, and it all seems to be tied into the upcoming movie Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
As you can see in the video below, Venice Beach was populated with apes riding horses across the sand. It’s a pretty striking sight. Just what they’re getting up to beyond looking scary remains to be seen.
“He’s the baddie,” Proximus Caesar actorKevin Durand told GamesRadar+. “But it’s coming down to, you know, homosapiens or apes and obviously he’s on the side of the apes, so he’s willing to do whatever needs to happen, by any means necessary, to ensure a future for apekind. From the perspective of the narrative, he’s definitely the baddie but yeah, when you watch the movie, you’re like, ‘Well, was he really that bad?'”
Along with Allan and Durand, the film’s cast includes William H. Macy, Dichen Lachman, and Owen Teague.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes releases in UK cinemas on May 9, and in US theaters on May 10. Fill out your watchlist with our guide to all of this year’s majormovie release dates.
