When will ‘Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver’ be released on Netflix? Movie cast and trailer
Subscribers to Netflix will be able to watch the second part of ‘Rebel Moon’, Zack Snyder’s epic space-opera saga, later this week.
The second instalment of Zack Snyder’s space-opera saga, Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver is due out on Netflix this week.
A direct sequel to Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire, the new film was released in selected cinemas in the United States on Friday 12 April, and is now set to drop on the streaming platform on Friday 19 April.
What is the Rebel Moon saga about?
Directed and co-written by Snyder, the two-part Rebel Moon saga takes place in a fictional galaxy where a crew of warriors must fight to defend the moon Veldt against the Motherworld, the imperialist power that rules the galaxy.
Rebel Moon - Part One came out in December, to widespread negative reviews. Writing in The Guardian, for example, the film critic Wendy Ide said: “The story is a derivative mess that feels as though it was assembled from bits of plot picked off the carcasses of other, better films, and glued together with brain-numbing, pace-killing chunks of exposition.”
What is the premise of Rebel Moon - Part Two?
In The Scargiver, Sofia Boutella again stars as Kora, a former Motherworld soldier who rallies warriors from around the galaxy to defend Veldt.
According to Netflix’s official synopsis, “Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver continues the epic saga of Kora and the surviving warriors as they prepare to sacrifice everything, fighting alongside the brave people of Veldt, to defend a once peaceful village, a newfound homeland for those who have lost their own in the fight against the Motherworld. On the eve of their battle the warriors must face the truths of their own pasts, each revealing why they fight. As the full force of the Realm bears down on the burgeoning rebellion, unbreakable bonds are forged, heroes emerge, and legends are made.”
As in A Child of Fire, the cast for the Rebel Moon saga’s second instalment also includes Djimon Hounsou, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Staz Nair, Fra Fee, Elise Duffy and Anthony Hopkins.
