Netflix has lifted the curtain on the official trailer for Zack Snyder’s latest creation, ‘Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire‘. Premiering as the closing highlight of Geeked Week 2023’s virtual presentation, this first installment of ‘Rebel Moon’ promises to be a visually stunning, action-packed addition to Netflix’s roster.
The trailer, showcasing Snyder’s signature cinematic style, hints at an expansive sci-fi universe that could become a flagship series for the streaming giant.
The narrative centers around Kora (played by Sofia Boutella), a mysterious individual who becomes intertwined with the fate of a peaceful farming settlement on the moon Veldt.
The tranquility of Veldt is shattered when forces from the oppressive Motherworld, led by Regent Balisarius (Fra Fee) and Admiral Noble (Ed Skrein), seek vengeance for the settlement’s unintended dealings with the insurgent Bloodaxes. Kora embarks on a galactic quest to assemble a team of warriors to defend Veldt against these overwhelming forces.
Snyder’s Vision: Beyond a Two-Part Film
While ‘Rebel Moon’ might initially seem like a two-part film saga, Snyder’s vision extends far beyond. In an interview with Total Film, he revealed plans to expand ‘Rebel Moon’ into a multifaceted franchise.
This expansion could include an animated series, a narrative podcast, an animated comic book, and even a video game, all set within the Rebel Moon universe. This ambitious project positions ‘Rebel Moon’ as a potential cornerstone IP for Netflix.

Regardless of the first film’s reception, there’s more to anticipate in Snyder’s universe. ‘Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver’ is set for release on April 19, 2024, with R-rated cuts of both films to follow.
Moreover, Snyder is crafting a director’s cut of ‘Rebel Moon’, which, by merging both films and incorporating additional material, is expected to run for a marathon four and a half hours. This extended version promises to be an even more immersive experience, surpassing the length of his director’s cut of 2019’s ‘Justice League’.
