Netflix is all-in on Snyder’s ‘verse: the streamer has dated Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver for April 19, and a third film is planned. Also in the works is an untitled Rebel Moon RPG, a graphic novel, and an animated short expanding the galaxy. 

“My hope is that this also becomes a massive IP and a universe that can be built out,” Snyder told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021, adding: “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, constantlydrawing and really cultivating its fertile ground to make this worldfully realized.”
