Zack Snyder’s upcoming blockbuster for Netflix is taking form. Snyder is currently one of Netflix’s most popular directors after working for a long time at DC, where he made the zombie apocalypse picture Army of the Dead. He’s planning to make two big films out of the science fiction fantasy epic Rebel Moon, with possible spinoffs.
In 2021, when the film Army of the Dead was released, it quickly became a user favorite and ultimately took home the Oscar for Best Fan Film. Already one prequel film, Army of Thieves, and an anime-style spinoff series, Lost Vegas, have been created from the heist picture. Planet of the Dead 2 is also in production.
We should expect Rebel Moon to follow in the same vein as Snyder’s other Netflix efforts. New cast members and plot elements have been released, despite Netflix’s initial announcement of the cast months ago. All the information we have about the movie is included below.

Rebel Moon Splits into Two Epic Parts
The new exclusive first look from Vanity Fair claims that once Zack Snyder turned in the script—which ran 172 pages long—Netflix realized they would have a three-hour movie and chose against making it.
Variety Says that Rebel Moon are getting Two Parts:

Instead of telling Snyder to cut it down, he proposed splitting the movie in two. His next epic will now span two films, with each receiving a “Snyder Cut,” a word made famous by the re-releases of Batman v. Superman and Justice League, thanks to the director’s devoted fan base.
