The Rebel Moon release date is rapidly approaching. By the end of 2023, Zack Snyder will be back behind the camera for Rebel Moon. The fan-favorite director will test his skills in an epic space opera heading to Netflix later this year. Here’s all the information we know about the Rebel Moon release date.
When is the Rebel Moon release date?
Netflix set the Rebel Moon release date for December 22, 2023.
One of the most-anticipated movies in 2023, Rebel Moon was penned by Snyder, Shay Hatten, and Kurt Johnstad. Snyder has directed many movies that can be labeled as sci-fi, proof is his long commitment to the DC Universe superheroes in what was nicknamed the “Snyderverse.” However, Space Moon will be his first space opera. The 57-year-old director started his partnership with Netflix with 2021’s Army of the Dead, a zombie movie that featured an epic heist.
Inspired by Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa and Star Wars, Rebel Moon follows a peaceful colony dealing with an oppressive regent. Still, many details are under wrap, and the movie hasn’t even got a trailer. Yet, Netflix believes so very much in the Rebel Moon potential of the film that a sequel is being filmed back-to-back. Originally, Snyder approached Lucasfilm with his story, but the project never sailed there. Instead, it took the current form after the involvement of producer Eric Newman.
The Mummy and Kingsman: The Secret Service alum Sofia Boutella leads the New Moon cast as Kora, a young woman who will lead a rebellion to protect her home. Boutella stars with Ed Skrein, who’s portraying the tyrannical regent Balisarius. The ensemble cast also features Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Bae Doona, Ray Fisher, and Corey Stoll, among others.
As often happens in recent times, Rebel Moon might get a limited theatrical window. Netflix usually releases its biggest movies (like Extraction 2) in selected theaters, which is likely what will happen to Rebel Moon too.
