Zack Snyder Shares First Look at 'Rebel Moon'

Zack Snyder has now offered fans a first glimpse at what’s to come for his upcoming Netflix sci-fi project Rebel Moon.

Currently in its early stages of production, the new film will be helmed by Snyder himself, who co-wrote it alongside Army of the Dead‘s Shay Hatten and 300‘s Kurt Johnstad. The plot will center around Kingsman and The Mummy actress Sofia Boutella, who’ll portray a young woman from a planet facing invasion by a dire force — probably the ominous figures featured in the concept art above. To save her home, Boutella sets off on a journey to neighboring planets in hopes of seeking out warriors that can help protect her colony.

According to Snyder, the film will feel very much like the Krypton scenes in Man of Steel “but on the biggest steroids I can give it.” Much like many of his other projects, the director also confirmed that Rebel Moon will form the basis of a brand new franchise, setting up “a universe that can be built out” akin to Star Wars. 

There’s currently no information yet on when Rebel Moon will premiere on Netflix, so fans of Snyder should stay tuned for more updates to come.

Elsewhere in entertainment, fans are commemorating Stan Lee on what would’ve been the Marvel legend’s 99th birthday.
