What is rebel moon?

Rebel Moon is a science fiction film series created by Zack Snyder. It began with two films released on Netflix: Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire (2023) and Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver (2024).

When the tyrannical Regent Balisarius and his forces from the Motherworld threaten the colony, Kora embarks on a quest to find warriors from across the galaxy to help them make a stand.

Key elements of the Rebel Moon universe include:

  • The Motherworld: A powerful and oppressive empire that controls much of the galaxy.

  • Regent%20Balisarius: The main antagonist, a ruthless leader of the Motherworld's military forces.

  • Kora: The protagonist, a former soldier with a hidden past seeking redemption.

  • Veldt: The peaceful farming colony that becomes the center of the conflict.

Zack Snyder has expressed interest in expanding the Rebel Moon universe beyond the initial two films, including the potential for spin-offs, comics, and other media.
