At first glance, Proximus may seem like a stand in for Caesar.
Furthermore, he has a vendetta against humans, intending to use their inventions for his own purposes.
Proximus shows what it would be like if Koba had ruled.
Because of this, Proximus is the perfect Koba replacement.
Yet, Koba’s pride and penchant for violence eventually led him to betray Caesar.
Aside from his connections to Koba, Proximus is a unique character.

He may be cruel, but he is a persuasive leader and his intentions are somewhat fair.
He wants to protect the apes.
Based on his relationship with Mae, it is clear that Noa is more curious about humans than hostile.

If Noa isn’t prepared for Mae’s betrayal, it could be catastrophic for him and his village.
Therefore,Proximus' return could give the apes a chance to defend themselves.
This would create a captivating and complex story.
Proximus is clearly violent, but he isn’t nearly as jaded as Koba.
The opposite could be said for Proximus.
Additionally,Proximus is a villain that has a future, something which Koba never had.
Koba’s desire was to hurt the humans, and he succeeded.
Caesar defeated him, but not before Koba caused irreparable damage to ape and human relations.
Ultimately, all of these character returns would lead to some inevitable and awesome moments in the sequel.
