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.

Attention: Spoilers Ahead for the First Film!

Will There Be a Sequel to Rebel Moon?

Absolutely! The sequel, titled Rebel Moon Part 2: The Slasher, was planned from the beginning, as confirmed by the American media outlet ScreenRant in August 2022. The full title of the first film is Rebel Moon: Part 1 – Child of Fire, leaving no room for doubt.

The second part, The Slasher, is once again directed by Zack Snyder, filmed simultaneously with the first part on a shared budget of $166 million. Kurt Johnstad will also be credited as co-writer for this sequel.

Release Date of Rebel Moon Part 2

Mark your calendars! Rebel Moon Part 2: The Slasher is set to be released on April 19, 2024, as officially announced by Netflix on Twitter in August 2023.

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.
