Did the visionary scientist Will Rodman, portrayed by James Franco, truly vanish from the face of the Earth after the events of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"? The shadow of the Simian Flu looms large, and his fate, though not explicitly depicted, is heavily implied to be a tragic one.
Will Rodman, a central figure in the rebooted "Planet of the Apes" saga, leaves a lingering question in the minds of fans: What became of him? Introduced in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," Rodman's journey is intertwined with that of Caesar, the intelligent ape whose destiny shapes the future of both humans and simians. Rodmans relentless pursuit of an Alzheimer's cure, under the supervision of Steven Jacobs, at Gen-Sys Laboratories, unknowingly sets in motion a chain of events leading to the rise of the apes and the decline of humanity. The experimental ALZ-113, initially intended to heal his ailing father, Charles Rodman, had the unintended consequence of boosting the intelligence of apes, most notably Bright Eyes, later known as Caesar.
