The much-awaited official trailer for Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon has finally dropped after Netflix released a quick teaser yesterday. And true to the hype, the preview is as intense as it could be, with its cinematic shots and epic turns of events, narrated by Anthony Hopkins, who plays the robot named Jimmy, himself.
Netflix has also unveiled major details about the upcoming Rebel Moon. Aside from the film being divided into two parts, each part has its own official title, and its release dates are also revealed.
The trailer, revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live in Germany, begins with telling the story of Princess Issa, who was also called the Redeemer in myth. “It was said this child would stop the madness of war. That she was to usher in a new age of peace and compassion,” Jimmy narrated. “I was given memories of a world I will never see. Loyalty to a king I cannot serve. And love for a child I could not save.”
From there, the preview gives a glimpse of the new heroes and villains that fans will start to love and hate, and theyre all hinting at a massive war that will take place in space. Of course, it also puts the lead character, Kora (Sofia Boutella), in the spotlight with her several action-packed scenes.

Release Dates for the Two-Part Rebel Moon Movie
After conversing with Netflix film boss Scott Tuber, Zack decided to split the movie into two parts. Tuber said the films that run shorter than two hours do better on the service. So, instead of a one-long picture, the acclaimed director ended up doing a two-movie project.
“Zack said, ‘If you ask me to make this less than two hours, I’m going to lose all the character. You won’t care about these people. It’s a character story about how people can change, and redemption and what are you willing to fight for…,” Zack’s wife and producing partner Deborah Snyder told Vanity Fair in June. “So, he said, ‘What if I give you two movies?'”
Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire will be released on December 22, followed by Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver on April 19, 2024. With its promising trailer, the two-part movie will be another great offering from Netflix and Snyder.
