The first part of Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon hit Netflix screens on December 22, 2023, but what’s in store for the Star Wars-inspired saga in its upcoming sequel? In this article, we’ve got all the details on Rebel Moon Part 2, from its release date to the official trailer and casting information.

What to Expect in Rebel Moon Part 2
While no official synopsis has been unveiled, Zack Snyder revealed to Comicbook.com in December 2023 that the first film served as an introduction to the universe and its characters. He emphasized, “The truth is, the first film is a setup for the second… these will be two films with very different tones.” After the events of the first part, including the death of Kai and the resurrection of Dark Vador Atticus Noble, the sequel is expected to escalate the rebels’ fight led by Kora (Arthelaïs).
The war against the World-Mother and the Imperium is far from over, especially with the late arrival of Balisarius, Kora’s adoptive father and a Palpatine-like character. Kora, still held captive by the Imperium, may face a rescue mission or find a way to escape and join her comrades in the Veldt.
Casting Details for Rebel Moon Part 2
Several actors from the first part are making a return in the sequel, including Sofia Boutella, Michiel Huisman, Djimon Hounsou, Doona Bae, Staz Nair, Fra Fee, and Ed Skrein. Anthony Hopkins will also return to lend his voice to the robot Jimmy. However, due to their characters’ deaths in the first part, Ray Fisher (Darrian Bloodaxe) and Charlie Hunnam (Kai, the traitor) are not expected to return unless through flashback scenes.
Where to Watch Rebel Moon Part 2
Similar to the first part, Rebel Moon Part 2: The Slasher will be exclusively available on Netflix. Additionally, Zack Snyder has teased the release of a director’s cut for Rebel Moon, promising an extra hour to the story, as revealed during the Tudum event in August 2023.
In a November 2023 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Snyder provided more details on the extended version, describing it as “fun and subversive,” earning it an R rating. He later mentioned in December 2023, in an interview with Associated Press, that this director’s cut represents almost a different universe from the original film. However, the release date for this director’s cut, if it is indeed in the works, is yet to be announced.
