REBEL MOON Profiles Reveal More About The Main Characters Of Zack Snyder's Sci-Fi Epic

We still know very little about the heroes and villains of Zack Snyder's Netflix sci-fi movie, Rebel Moon, but these brief character descriptions give us a little more to go on...

Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon is set to premiere on Netflix this December, and while we have seen a few snippets of footage in the announcement teaser and some behind-the-scenes featurettes, a full trailer has yet to be released.

A promo of some sort shouldn't be too far off, but for now, Netflix Tudum (via SFFGazette.com) has shared the stills that originally debuted in Vanity Fair earlier this month, along with brief descriptions of the sci-fi epic's main characters.

The movie's big bad (Ed Skrein) is Admiral Atticus Noble, "a nefarious Imperium enforcer."

“When you look at Noble, you see the harshest type of military savageness,” the Deadpool actor tells Tudum. “You see a ruthless, cold man who has chosen horror over morality for the directness of it. In a world where morality is waning, he has cast morality aside in the name of ambition.”

Tudum also shared a first official look at Skrein's baddie.

Standing in opposition of Noble will be Kora (Sofia Boutella), an Imperium deserter who leaves the peaceful Veldt to fight back; Kai (Charlie Hunnam), a mercenary pilot whose Tawau-Class freighter will prove invaluable to Kora’s quest; Gunnar (Michiel Huisman), a Veldt farmer who knows little of the galaxy outside of his small, quiet corner of the galaxy; General Titus (Djimon Hounsou), a hardened gladiator who once served the Imperium; Tarak (Staz Nair), a noble indentured servant who shares a bond with a flying creature called a Bennu; Nemesis (Doona Bae), a cyborg sword master whose mechanical hands allow her to wield molten-metal weapons; Darrian Bloodaxe (Ray Fisher), an insurgent who has been harrying the Imperium with guerilla attacks; and Milius (E. Duffy), a refugee who seeks justice for their home — a colony that has already fallen to the Mother World.

Check out the rest of the stills at the link below.

From Zack Snyder, the filmmaker behind 300, Man of Steel, and Army of the Dead, comes REBEL MOON, an epic science-fantasy event decades in the making. When a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival. Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge. As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a battle over the fate of a galaxy is waged, and in the process, a new army of heroes is formed.

Rebel Moon is set to premiere on December 22.

so is this really just star wars with slight name changes to prevent litigation? If so that's very lame

@ferf - well I mean, yes and no.

Kathleen at the time was handing out trilogies to anyone with an idea, and Zack came up with an original idea using original characters set in the Star Wars universe.

As far as I remember, after talks fell apart, I don't think anything was ever offered or any deal was ever made, they decided to pass on Zacks story.

So, since they passed and Zack had actually liked the stuff he came up with for them, he decided to use his original ideas and characters outside of Star Wars lore and make his own original thing from the ground up.

Honestly, I wish this happened with him before Man of Steel and he just decided to use all of his Snyderverse ideas with original superhero characters, just like he is doing for this.

@TheVandalore - that's actually a great idea, people do justice league archetypes all the time - would just be tough to get the same budget.

@Shivermetimbers - I love Skrein as a villain, he's like a poor man's Mads. Every time I see him in something I immediately think back to MVC2's venom taunt...Villain.

@GhostDog - Indeed he did, but I appreciate that more than the current sci-fi media which until VERY recently was just a series of cash grabs. All media copies, it's just perception really. I mean John Carter was the original SW really, and it did nothing at the box office...cuz SW happened on screen first, among other reasons I guess.

@AllsGood - is it because of the crackdown on profile sharing? That’s one of the reasons why I can’t watch Netflix either

I clicked on this, thinking it was related to the upcoming Street Fighter movie.
