Zack Snyder's "Rebel Moon 2" Gets Release Date and Official Title

Netflix has unveiled the release date and official title for part 2 of Zack Snyder’s sci-fi epic “Rebel Moon”. 

The movie is titled “The Scargiver”, and is slated to arrive on April 19, 2024. 

Netflix also shared the teaser trailer for Part 1 of Zack Snyder’s sci-fi epic “Rebel Moon,” titled “A Child of Fire,” coming to the streamer on December 22. 

The movie follows an enigmatic young woman (played by Sofia Boutella) who must search for fighters who can fight off an impending invasion by the despotic ruler Regent Balisarius (Fra Free).

Here’s the official logline: “When a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival. Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge. As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a battle over the fate of a galaxy is waged, and in the process, a new army of heroes is formed.”

The cast also includes Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Ray Fisher, Anthony Hopkins, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, Doona Bae, Jena Malone, Staz Nair, E. Duffy, Charlotte Maggi, Cleopatra Coleman, Cary Elwes, Corey Stoll, Sky Yang, and more.

Snyder first developed the project as a pitch for a story in the “Star Wars” universe that pre-dated Disney’s 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm. He began refashioning the sci-fi film into an original property while working on his 2021 Netflix movie “Army of the Dead” and plans to turn “Rebel Moon” into a franchise for the streamer. 

The project is inspired by his love for “Star Wars” and Akira Kurosawa movies.

“Rebel Moon” is directed by Snyder, from a script he co-wrote with Shay Hatten (“Army of the Dead,” “John Wick 3”) and Kurt Johnstad (“300,” “Atomic Blonde”). 

Snyder, Deborah Snyder, and Wesley Coller produce through their company The Stone Quarry, along with Eric Newman through his Grand Electric banner. Sarah Bowen, also with Grand Electric, serves as an executive producer on the movie.

“Rebel Moon” marks the latest collaboration between Snyder and Netflix following “Army of the Dead”. He also released a spinoff, titled “Army of Thieves,” and is working on a sequel and anime spinoff series.
