There is still no estimated release date on the horizon for Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon, but the film sure is building a ton of hype thanks to the news regarding the project. This is especially thanks to Snyder's own social media updates, which now tease a new look into this newly crafted sci-fi world.
This approach is not foreign to Snyder, who spent much of the pandemic sharing snippets of his own reworked Justice League, a film that ultimately caused the director's stock to rise, just like his return to the realm of zombies in Netflix's Army of the Dead. As for his sci-fi epic, the film has already booked top-notch talent with the likes of Anthony Hopkins joining the Rebel Moon cast and some pretty awe-inspiring artwork.

In this case, Rebel Moon's latest teaser comes in the form of a rather intimidating alien figure. During Netflix's Geeked Week event, Snyder posted a makeup test shot taken from his phone. If there's one thing to draw from this short video, it's that Rebel Moon will definitely cater to the dark and gloomy aesthetic that's made Snyder famous in Hollywood, because this particular clip almost looks as if it could be one of Steppenwolf or Darkseid's minions thrown into a different world.
Rebel Moon's screenplay was co-written by Shay Hatten (Army of the Dead), Kurt Johnstad (300), and Snyder. The film pairs up the director with some familiar talent like Ray Fisher, who joins a cast made up of Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Doona Bae, Staz Nair, Alfonso Herrera, and the aforementioned Hopkins in full robot capacity. The film takes place in a remote space colony suddenly threatened by its tyrannous overlord Belisarius,
