<P> The Oberon's log reveals that the apes on board, led by Semos, organized a mutiny and took control of the vessel after it crashed . The human and ape survivors of the struggle left the ship and their descendants are the people Leo has encountered since landing . The apes arrive and attack the humans who have gathered to see Leo, although he is able to even the odds when he uses the Oberon's last fragments of fuel to fire a final blast at the first wave of apes . The battle is halted as a familiar vehicle descends from the sky and is identified immediately by Leo . The pod is piloted by Pericles, the chimp astronaut . Pericles was pushed forward in time as Leo was, and had just now found his way to the planet . When Pericles lands and the pod opens, the apes interpret his arrival as the return of Semos, the first ape, who is their god . They bow, and hostilities between humans and apes suddenly cease . </P> <P> Pericles runs into the wreck of the Oberon and Leo runs after him, followed by General Thade . Thade and Leo fight . Pericles tries to help Leo, but Thade throws him hard against a wall . Thade takes Leo's gun from him and tries to fire the weapon at Leo . Leo sees that Thade is within the pilot's deck and closes the automatic door, trapping Thade inside . Thade fires the weapon repeatedly at the door but the ricochets create sparks that cause Thade to huddle afraid under a control panel . Leo decides to escape the Planet of the Apes and return to Earth . He gives Pericles to Ari, who promises to look after him . He says goodbye and kisses Ari and Daena . Leo climbs aboard Pericles's undamaged pod and travels back in time through the same electromagnetic storm . Leo crashes in Washington, D.C. on Earth . He looks up at what appears to be the Lincoln Memorial, only to find that it is now a monument to General Thade . A swarm of police officers, firefighters, and news reporters descend on Leo, all of whom are apes . </P> <Ul> <Li> Mark Wahlberg as Captain Leo Davidson A United States Air Force astronaut who accidentally opens a portal to another world inhabited by talking human - like apes and is captured by them . Leo leads a rebellion of the planet's humans . Wahlberg had backed out of a commitment to Ocean's Eleven to take this role in Planet of the Apes . (Matt Damon was eventually cast in the Ocean's Eleven role .) Whereas other actors contending for the Leo Davidson role wanted to see the script before signing a contract, Wahlberg signed on after a five - minute meeting with Burton . To avoid evoking associations with his previous work as an underwear model, Wahlberg did not wear a loincloth, even though Heston had worn one in the original film . </Li> <Li> Tim Roth as General Thade A sinister chimpanzee military commander who wants control over the ape civilization . Thade also intends to marry Ari, but she dismisses him . Roth turned down the role of Severus Snape in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone because of his commitment to Planet of the Apes . Alan Rickman was eventually cast as Snape . Roth rewrote some scenes to give his character a more frightening presence . </Li> <Li> Helena Bonham Carter as Ari A female chimpanzee who protests the way humans are treated . She helps Leo lead the rebellion, and also develops a romantic attraction to him . </Li> <Li> Michael Clarke Duncan as Colonel Attar A gorilla military officer and Thade's closest associate and second - in - command . Djimon Hounsou had turned down the role because of scheduling conflicts with The Four Feathers . </Li> <Li> Estella Warren as Daena A female slave who, like Ari, develops a romantic attraction to Leo . </Li> <Li> Kris Kristofferson as Karubi Daena's father . Karubi is killed by Thade while trying to escape . Kristofferson had immediately agreed to be cast . "The director Tim Burton is a hero of mine . I have eight kids and we've seen all of his films from Pee - wee's Big Adventure to Sleepy Hollow many times ." </Li> <Li> Cary - Hiroyuki Tagawa as General Krull A gorilla and former military leader whose career had been destroyed by Thade . Krull became a servant of Senator Sandar and assisted the humans in their rebellion . </Li> <Li> Paul Giamatti as Limbo A comical orangutan who works in the trade business of human slaves . Limbo is caught in the conflict between humans and apes and tries his best to simply survive . Giamatti drew inspiration from W.C. Fields for his performance . While his prosthetic makeup was being applied, Giamatti watched episodes of Ultraman and various Japanese Godzilla films . </Li> <Li> Jonah (uncredited) as Pericles A chimp student trained by Leo at the US Air Force space station training other chimps and orangutans to fly space pods . He is launched on a mission that involves traveling through an electromagnetic storm .
