Snyder’s Rebel Moon is a multi-part sci-fi film about a group of heroes defending a peaceful moon from an evil empire. It draws inspiration from Seven Samurai and features action-packed sequences. The two-part structure allows for character development and explores themes of sacrifice.

In an interview with Empire, Snyder revealed Rebel Moon: Part One will focus on assembling the team and feature his signature action-packed style. Part Two promises to be even more explosive, resembling a war film set in space, reminiscent of a Normandy invasion. The two-part structure allows for proper character development and establishes the high stakes involved in their battle against the Imperium. The film explores the theme of sacrifice and poses the question of what individuals are willing to give up for a cause. Snyder described the characters as somewhat broken but emphasized the cathartic journey they undertake.
According to Netflix’s logline, “When tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with Kora in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, she assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants, and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge. As the shadow of an entire realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a battle over the fate of a galaxy is waged, and in the process, a new army of heroes is formed.”
The film stars Sofia Boutella as Kora, Djimon Hounsou as General Titus, Ed Skrein as Balisarius, Michiel Huisman, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher as Blood Axe, Staz Nair, Charlie Hunnam, Anthony Hopkins as Jimmy (voice role), Jena Malone, Stuart Martin, Corey Stoll, Cary Elwes, Alfonso Herrera, Cleopatra Coleman, Fra Fee, Rhian Rees, and Ray Porter.

Rebel Moon will premiere on December 22, 2023, on Netflix.
