First Look at Zack Snyder's REBEL MOON - PART TWO: THE SCARGIVER and Meaning of the Titles Revealed
The photo above is our first look a the sequel to Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child Of Fire, which is titled Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver. The story for these films explores the clash between the evil Imperium and a handful of warriors gathered to defend the vulnerable moon of Veldt.
During an interview with Empire, Snyder explained the titles of the movies saying, “We had the titles for a long time.” He went on to say:
“A Child Of Fire has a double meaning. The Child Of Fire could be Princess Issa, this myth that runs through the stories. The robots that we refer to as Jimmy, the Anthony Hopkins character, were created to protect the unborn Issa and lost all their purpose when she was assassinated. Kora [Sofia Boutella’s character] is also a child of fire: she was a war orphan. Her home was burned down and she was snatched up and brought into the army.”
When talking about The Scargiver title and how the sequel is going to be different than the first film, the filmmaker went on to say:
“[Kora’s] nickname is the Scargiver, which is also related to her relationship with Princess Issa. Those two myths are braided together in a pretty cool way, I think. The second movie is really a war movie. At the beginning they harvest the crops, and we have a bunch of stuff in the village, sort of the ‘Why We Fight’ aspect of the movie. We have time for relationships. Then the next thing is the big battle. It’s really fun.”
In the story, a group of ragtag rebels rise up to fight against a giant, evil Empire. It’s set in a “peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy that finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius. They dispatch a young woman with a mysterious past to seek out warriors from neighboring planets to help them take a stand against the Tyrant.”
This is a two-part film and each part will come with an R-rated edition that fans can watch as well. The movie stars Charlie Hunnam, Ed Skrein, Bae Doona, Djimon Hounsou. Ray Fisher, Jena Malone, Ed Skrein, Stuart Martin, Cary Elwes, Corey Stoll, Michiel Huisman, Anthony Hopkins, and Alfonso Herrera.
Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire is scheduled to arrive on Netflix on December 22nd following a limited theatrical release. Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver is coming in April 2024.
