After what feels like years of waiting, fans at Gamescon today finally got their first look at Rebel Moon, Zack Snyder’s space epic that started off as a rejected Star Wars Pitch to Disney. It definitely explains the homage to light sabers that appear a couple of times in the footage. Check out the epic cast breakdown and the trailer below:
The Good Guys:
- Kora (Sofia Boutella), an Imperium deserter who leaves the peaceful Veldt to fight back
- Kai (Charlie Hunnam), a mercenary pilot whose Tawau-Class freighter will prove invaluable to Kora’s quest
- Gunnar (Michiel Huisman), a Veldt farmer who knows little of the galaxy outside of his small, quiet corner of the galaxy
- General Titus (Djimon Hounsou), a hardened gladiator who once served the Imperium
- Tarak (Staz Nair), a noble indentured servant who shares a bond with a flying creature called a Bennu
- Nemesis (Doona Bae), a cyborg sword master whose mechanical hands allow her to wield molten-metal weapons
- Darrian Bloodaxe (Ray Fisher), an insurgent who has been harrying the Imperium with guerilla attacks
- Milius (E. Duffy), a refugee who seeks justice for their home — a colony that has already fallen to the Mother World.
Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire hits Netflix on December 22. The sequel, Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver, will debut on April 19, 2024.
