I really doubt that the Icarus mission was just a nod or an "easter egg". It was mentioned two times - when the mission was launched and during the third act when the spaceship gets lost in space somewhere. It has to lead to something in Dawn of the Apes or the next sequel.

I don't think they can afford to directly lead into an equivalent to or a remake of Planet of the Apes, I think it's just the inevitable future that these films are building towards but won't directly address or depict.

Has anyone seen the poster that looks like a painting with the ape riding the horse in the water with the gun raised? It's a really cool poster and looks 70's as gently caress.

e: v Rises doesn't even really HAVE any appeals to nostalgia in it, except for the 'dirty ape' line. It works on the strength of its characters.

Technically it has "Bright Eyes", the stuff about Icarus, and "No!" being the first word is a canonical thing, but those are super subtle things.
