Rebel Moon trailer teases epic sci-fi fantasy as part two of Zack Snyder’s 20 years in-the-making production gets Netflix release date
Netflix has released the first teaser for its upcoming two-part sci-fi epic Rebel Moon, directed by Zack Snyder.
The first chapter, A Child Of Fire, was already scheduled to drop on December 22, 2023, with part two, The Scargiver, now also in the calendar to drop on the platform on April 19, 2024.
If you think that April 2024 is a long way off, the wait has nothing on the 20 years the director has been working on the idea.
The two-parter’s trailer sets up the ‘star-trotting epic’ which is centred around Sofia Boutella’s character Kora – ‘a lone-wolf soldier who’s found community and connection on the quiet farming moon of Veldt.’
Netflix’s summary continues to say that Kora is a former fighter of the movie’s interstellar empire, who appear on the moon initiating ‘a battle between brutality and harmony.’
Scargiver: Rebel Moon’s first trailer has been released by Netflix, with the date for both parts also now known as December 22, 2023, and April 19, 2023
Legend: Zack Snyder, (pictured), has been working on Rebel Moon for roughly 20 years, in which time he has directed a vast array of hit movies
With the contrast between life on and off the moon, the trailer also demonstrates the range of scenes and settings we will come across in Rebel Moon, with a natural tranquility on Veldt, and a clinical chaos elsewhere.
This complexity could go some way to explaining how the idea took Snyder so long to nail down, telling Netflix that ‘I’ve been working on this idea for this film Rebel Moon for about 20 years.’
In that time, he has directed a host of DC movies including The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Man Of Steel.
His cast for this latest venture includes Anthony Hopkins voicing a robot called Jimmy, and Deadpool’s Ed Skrein as sadistic admiral Atticus Noble.
Rebel Moon is the latest collaboration between Snyder and Netflix following his 2021 feature Army Of The Dead.
That bodes well for the new venture, with the film viewed by 72 million households in its first four weeks, according to the streaming platform.
He also wrote Army Of Thieves, Netflix’s prequal to the aforementioned original, and is working on a sequel and anime spinoff series.
