Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon Reportedly Split Into Two Epic Movies
Zack Snyder's upcoming Netflix movie Rebel Moon is reportedly a two-part epic. Netflix got into business with the popular director following his departure from the DC Extended Universe. Zack Snyder has already started a new cinematic universe with Army of the Dead, but his love of sci-fi and world-building has brought Rebel Moon to the streaming service as another potentially massive franchise. The movie is based on Snyder's pitched Star Wars film that Lucasfilm passed on, which follows a young woman, played by Sofia Boutella, who becomes the face of a rising resistance against the galaxy's conquerors.
Announced in 2021, Zack Snyder has spent the last year getting Rebel Moon ready for filming to begin this spring. Boutella was the first person to join the movie's cast, where she'll play a mysterious young woman assembling warriors from other planets to fight back. Snyder has also found another talented ensemble to work with Boutella on his original sci-fi film. Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Doona Bae, Rupert Friend, and Stuart Martin joined the cast later on, as did Ray Fisher, who worked with Snyder in the DCEU as Cyborg. Just as Rebel Moon prepares to start production, it's now being reported that Snyder's plans are even bigger than a single film.
