Most teaser trailer’s are just that, teasers. But Zack Snyder’s first teaser trailer for his two-part epic scifi tale, Rebel Moon, is nearly four minutes long and reveals much about the world Snyder’s created in his latest massive endeavor.

The teaser trailer’s release was accompanied by the announcement of the titles of parts one and two, as well as a confirmed premiere date for part two.

Part one is officially Child of Fire and part two is The Scargiver. The first part arrives on December 22, 2023 and part two follows on April 19, 2024.

The cast includes Sofia Boutella as Kora, an Imperium deserter who leaves the peaceful Veldt to fight back; Ed Skrein as Admiral Atticus Noble, a nefarious Imperium enforcer; Charlie Hunnam as Kai, a mercenary pilot whose Tawau-Class freighter will prove invaluable to Kora’s quest; Michiel Huisman as Gunnar, a Veldt farmer who knows little of the galaxy outside of his small, quiet corner of the galaxy; and Djimon Hounsou as General Titus, a hardened gladiator who once served the Imperium.

Staz Nair is Tarak, a noble indentured servant who shares a bond with a flying creature called a Bennu; Donna Bae plays Nemesis, a cyborg sword master whose mechanical hands allow her to wield molten-metal weapons; Ray Fisher is Darrian Bloodaxe, an insurgent who has been harrying the Imperium with guerilla attacks; and E. Duffy as Milius, a refugee who seeks justice for their home — a colony that has already fallen to the Mother World.

Additionally, Fra Fee is Regent Balisarius, the mighty Imperium official — and Noble’s superior — who presides over Veldt’s corner of the universe; Jena Malone is a mysterious and deadly spider-being; and Anthony Hopkins voices Jimmy, an ancient robot knight that once defended a slain king but has now faded into a more peaceful existence.

The ensemble also includes Cleopatra Coleman, Stuart Martin, Ingvar Eggert Sigurðsson, Alfonso Herrera, Cary Elwes, Rhian Rees, Sky Yang, Charlotte Maggi, and Corey Stoll.

Zack Snyder directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Kurt Johnstad and Shay Hatten. Eric Newman, Wesley Coller, and Zack and Deborah Snyder serve as producers. Bergen Swanson, Sarah Bowen, Shay Hatten, and Kurt Johnstad executive produce.

The Plot, Courtesy of Netflix:

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.
