Zack Snyder’s Planning Rebel Moon Universe
Previously, Snyder spoke with Empire Magazine to reveal that he is already planning a Rebel Moon Cinematic Universe and has enough story for multiple films and a series. Snyder also says a third move would have the characters visit the rebel moon.
“When I pitched it to Netflix, the scale was a thing they wanted,” Snyder says. “They were like, ‘Well, how big could it be? How many movies?’ That made me go, ‘Okay, if we really do this, we can sink our teeth pretty deep into this. We can’t really hit the bottom.’”
The article explains that Snyder created a 450-page “bible” for Rebel Moon, including a timeline that stretches before and after the two Netflix films. It would be enough for a television series exploring Fra Fee’s Balisarius and a third film that would see the story finally visit the rebel moon.
“The rebel moon is not the moon that they’re on,” Snyder explained. “The title was conceptual, but there’s a planet named Vanna and Vanna is the rebel moon. It’s not even in one shot of this movie!”
What happens in Rebel Moon?
As the tagline of “war comes to every world” suggests, Rebel Moon will see exactly that. The film is set in a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy that finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius They dispatch a young woman, Kora, with a mysterious past to seek out warriors from neighboring planets to help them take a stand against the Tyrant. In addition to Boutella, the film stars Charlie Hunnam, Ray Fisher, Djimon Hounsou, Jena Malone, Corey Stoll, Ed Skrein, Cleopatra Coleman, Fra Fee, Cary Elwes, and Anthony Hopkins.
Rebel Moon begins streaming on Netflix on December 22nd. Stay tuned to ComicBook.com for more updates on Rebel Moon and Zack Snyder as we learn it.
