In thenew issue of Total Film, which hits shelves this week, directorZack Snyderreveals that his upcoming action slash space adventure Rebel Moon shares a universe with his Netflix zombie film series.

“Army of the Dead has a pretty vast mythology that never made it into the movie.” says theJustice Leaguedirector, “There’s actually a character from Rebel Moon in the Army of the Dead animated series that we never did.”

The unfinished series is what contains the Rebel Moon crossovers. “At one point in the show, they go through a portal into another dimension, and there are characters in that other dimension that they come across,” Snyder explains, “In Rebel Moon, they’re in this bar, and one of the aliens is one of the characters from the animatic. So it’s definitely a shared universe.”

Set in a galaxy far away, Rebel Moon starringThe Gentlemen’s Charlie Hunnam andThe Mummy’s Sofia Boutella, follows a young woman with a mysterious past who must build an army to fight back against the tyrannical forces who are threatening her home and community.
