Zack Snyderhas revealed more about the Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire director’s cut, and it will have a brand new opening focusing on Ed Skrein’s villainous Admiral Noble.
“It’s, like, an hour longer and has a whole other opening that’s all Ed,” Snyder toldExpress.co.uk. “It’s really crazy.”
Skrein’s Noble is part of the Motherworld, the brutal dictatorship ruling the universe. He arrives to the peaceful farming moon of Veldt, which spells disaster for the community: that spurs Sofia Boutella’s Kora to set out seeking warriors who can help her make a stand against the Motherworld’s armies.
The ensemble cast includes Ray Fisher as revolutionary Darian Bloodaxe, Staz Nair as the regal Tarak, Doona Bae as legendary swordswoman Nemesis, E. Duffy as resistance fighter Milius, Djimon Hounsou as former Motherworld General Titus, Charlie Hunnam as smuggler Kai, and Michiel Huisman as Veltdian farmer Gunnar. Anthony Hopkins is the voice of robotic knight Jimmy, while Carey Elwes plays the former king.
Rebel Moon – Part One hits Netflix this December 21 in the US and December 22 in the UK, with a limited theatrical release from December 15.
