The Rebel Moon sequel boasts a star-studded cast, with Sofia Boutella portraying the main character, Kora, an ex-Imperium soldier who rallies warriors across the galaxy to fight against the oppressive Motherworld. The Scargiver also features Ed Skrein, Djimon Hounsou, Ray Fisher, Anthony Hopkins and Doona Bae. The critical feedback for The Scargiver has been even more damning than the original, with the space opera follow-up attracting a 15% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the lowest ever for a Snyder film.

Snyder is set to release extended director’s cuts of A Child of Fire and The Scargiver, with the R-rated cuts containing major differences from the theatrical PG-13 versions, including new scenes and thematic changes. Snyder initially pitched her Rebel Moon movies as an R-rated Star Wars franchise to Lucasfilm before Disney took them over.

What Will Happen With the Rebel Moon Franchise?

Snyder plans to expand the Rebel Moon franchise in the coming years, including a video game, a comic book series and an animated short. The acclaimed director hopes to make as many as six Rebel Moon movies, with co-writer Kurt Johnstad revealing that the stories for each original installment of the planned film trilogy have been split into two parts.
