Zack Snyder’s ‘Rebel Moon’ Cast Announced
Netflix and Zack Snyder’s sci-fi adventure Rebel Moon is shaping up and there are interesting names on the cast list.
Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon is aiming to be a big, romantic sci-fi epic. He and co-writer Shay Hatten toyed with making it a series for a while, but they thought it better as a feature film. The director/writer spoke to the Hollywood Reporter about the project.
“This is me growing up as an Akira Kurosawa fan, a Star Wars fan. It’s my love of sci-fi and a giant adventure. My hope is that this also becomes a massive IP and a universe that can be built out… I’ve spent the last two or three years building out this universe. Every corner has to be painted in. I’ve been doing designs, constantly drawing, and really cultivating its fertile ground to make this world fully realized.”
I’m expecting a mash-up of space as seen in comic books, Star Wars, and The Magnificent Seven. With Snyder’s hallmarks, of course.

The Story & Concept Art
Rebel Moon focuses on a tyrant’s invasion of a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy. A regent named Belisarius has deployed his army to take over and turn the residents into slaves. The colony sends a young woman with a mysterious past to recruit warriors from nearby planets in order to fight back and reclaim their home.
Snyder has said the world will rival the opening sequences he created for Man of Steel.
