Marc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events As we know by now, Zack Snyder has massive plans for his “Rebel Moon” universe. The franchise launches with the Netflix movie “Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire,” followed by a sequel that will be released next year. Snyder is developing a “Rebel Moon” comic book series, mobile game (“I would love to do big console game,” he says), an animated component, and is even releasing his first book of photography featuring a collection of black and white portraits he shot on set.
“We have sort of an arc for this storyline that is a little bit longer … This movie will end and, in April, you’ll get another one, which is really even crazier than this one,” Snyder told me at the “Rebel Moon” premiere Wednesday night in Los Angeles. “I think it’s going to be really fun for audiences to be able to so quickly get this second installment. And then beyond that, we have a few more ideas up our sleeve.
So that’d be fun.” I asked Zack and producer Deborah Snyder if they have any dream casting ideas for future film installments. “We have the dream cast,” Deborah said. Zack added, “I have an embarrassment of riches.
To dream bigger than that just seems rude.” But then, after I insisted he dream big, Zack said, “I think if I could get LeBron James in the movie … I know that sounds crazy. I’m just saying … but yeah, we’ll see as the story evolves.” “Rebel Moon” star Sofia Boutella, who plays rebel leader Kora, could see her “Atomic Bomb” co-star and onscreen lover Charlize Theron coming on as her “wife” in a future installment. “That would be amazing,” she said.

Whatever trauma of youth that makes you be able to be James Bond.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Zack Snyder has spent the last several years attempting to launch new IP for Netflix, be it his action zombie epic “Army of the Dead” or his new space opera franchise “Rebel Moon,” but the 57-year-old filmmaker is better known for putting his stamp on famed IP, from “Watchmen” to “Man of Steel,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Justice League.” Would he ever return to tackling a pre-existing franchise? “I mean, like, how much IP is there?” Snyder recently said in an interview with The Atlantic before thinking of at least one bit of IP he might like to tackle one day. “It’d be cool to see, like, 20-year-old James Bond,” Snyder said.

Having already made a sizeable TV mark with popular franchises like “Stranger Things” and “Squid Games,” Netflix obviously wants its own in-house epic “Avatar” or “Dune” sci-fi blockbuster franchise for the cinema (irony not lost here).

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Zack Snyder is a pop-fantasy filmmaker who now has a fanboy cult around him. In the two decades since he made his feature directorial debut with the grainy unsettling 2004 reboot of “Dawn of the Dead,” Snyder’s flamboyant fusion of visual wizardry, technological fixation, and kick-ass spirit has made him, at least in some quarters (read: the Comic-Con and video-game demo), a creative hero for the Age of Escapism. Fans who grew up feasting on such Snyder extravaganzas as “300,” “Watchmen,” and “Sucker Punch” then saw his much-ballyhooed entrée into the DC comic-book sphere marked by ambitious but maligned misfires.
