Director Zack Snyder has recently shared the full cast list and some concept art for his upcoming sci-fi epic, Rebel Moon.
Sofia Boutella had already been announced as the film's lead character, Kora. But now, we know that Rebel Moon will also feature Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Ray Fisher, Doona Bae, Jena Malone, Staz Nair, E. Duffy, Charlotte Maggi, and Sky Yang.
Though not much is currently known about the characters, THR has reported that Hounsou will star as General Titus, Bae will play a villain who's skilled with a blade, and Fisher will portray the resistance fighter known as "Blood Axe."
What really has fans talking is that Ray Fisher will be back on the big screen after his heartfelt performance as Cyborg in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
Snyder also shared some jaw-dropping concept art for the movie that depicts the breathtaking worlds we'll see put to the film.
Honored to welcome this incredible cast to Rebel Moon. Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Doona Bae, and Ray Fisher join previously announced Sofia Boutella. Jena Malone, Staz Nair, E. Duffy, Charlotte Maggi, & Sky Yang round out the cast. More to come. Let's go! #RebelMoon @Netflix
You can definitely see the influence that Star Wars has had on this story, and considering Snyder's sci-fi worldbuilding in films like Man of Steel and Justice League, we should expect to feast our eyes on another spectacularly detailed universe.
Rebel Moon is based on Snyder's pitch for a Star Wars film that he made ten years ago. Since then, the director has rewritten the story so that it takes place in its own universe. The story also takes inspiration from Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, which also had a massive influence on Star Wars.
