The first chapter of director Zack Snyder’s long-awaited post-DCEU sci-fi saga, Rebel Moon, hit Netflix (and some theaters) over the 2023 holiday season. And it racked up an impressive number of viewers for the streaming service. Did it turn out to be what everyone was hoping for? Certainly, fervent Zack Snyder fans seemed to dig it. Specifically for all its “what if someone made a Star Wars movie, but R-rated?” energy. Now Netflix has released a trailer for this spring’s Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver. You can watch it below:
The first part of Rebel Moon, titled A Child of Fire, focuses on a soldier by the name of Kora (Sofia Boutella). She lives on a remote farming moon, and chooses to ditch her life of endless war against the evil Imperium. However, Kora’s tranquil existence abruptly ends when she’s pulled back into the fight. It’s something that happens often in these kinds of stories. To fight the Imperium, Kora recruits a group of fighters which include Darrian Bloodaxe (Ray Fisher) and Kai (Charlie Hunnam). Also, there’s a robot by the name of Jimmy (voiced by Anthony Hopkins). Other actors include Djimon Hounsou as Titus, Michiel Huisman as Gunnar, and Doona Bae as Nemesis.
The trailer for Rebel Moon—Part Two: The Scargiver shows more from our team of heroes as they begin to bond and train together. But of course, the villains are ready and waiting as well.
Based on some things Zack Snyder has said during the press tour for the first Rebel Moon film, it seems his intention for the second chapter is to dive deeper into the histories and backstories of several of the main characters. These new histories also include some revelations about our chief protagonist, Kora.
When Will Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver Release?
Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver will release on Netflix on April 19.
Will Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver Release in Theaters?
It’s currently unknown if the second part of Snyder’s sci-fi epic will have a limited theatrical window or not.
