With Zack Snyder’s ambitious sci-fi epic Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire premiering in theatres for a special one-week engagement next week, Netflix has revealed its streaming premiere has been moved up a day early in a new teaser. Watch it below…
Instead of arriving to stream on December 22nd, Netflix will make Rebel Moon available on December 21st at 7 PM Pacific Time. Netflix is trying to make Rebel Moon a special event with its limited theatrical run and timed premiere. It’s not surprising given Snyder usually generates a lot of talk whether positive or negative from his fans and critics.
Snyder has filmed the two-part Rebel Moon back-to-back with this month releasing A Child of Fire and then the second part, The Scargiver, premiering in April 2024. He has also spoken recently of his desire to release an extended director’s cut that will explore more of Rebel Moon‘s world and characters as well as add more violence than its theatrical cut. Snyder’s plans also include expanding Rebel Moon into a franchise that spans genres from comic books, video games and more.
Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon will get a special early release on Netflix at 7PM PT on December 21.

After crash landing on a moon in the furthest reaches of the universe, Kora (Sofia Boutella), a stranger with a mysterious past, begins a new life among a peaceful settlement of farmers. But she soon becomes their only hope for survival when the tyrannical Regent Balisarius (Fra Fee) and his cruel emissary, Admiral Noble (Ed Skrein), discover the farmers have unwittingly sold their crops to the Bloodaxes (Cleopatra Coleman and Ray Fisher) – leaders of a fierce group of insurgents hunted by the Motherworld.
Tasked with finding fighters who would risk their lives to defend the people of Veldt, Kora and Gunnar (Michiel Huisman), a tenderhearted farmer naive in the realities of war, journey to different worlds in search of the Bloodaxes, and assemble a small band of warriors who share a common need for redemption along the way: Kai (Charlie Hunnam), a pilot and gun for hire; General Titus (Djimon Hounsou), a legendary commander; Nemesis (Doona Bae), a master swordswoman; Tarak (Staz Nair), a captive with a regal past; and Milius (E. Duffy), a resistance fighter. Back on Veldt, Jimmy (voiced by Anthony Hopkins), an ancient mechanized protector hiding in the wings, awakens with a new purpose. But the newly formed revolutionaries must learn to trust each other and fight as one before the armies of the Motherworld come to destroy them all.
The cast of Rebel Moon includes Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Anthony Hopkins, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Stuart Martin, Cary Elwes, Corey Stoll, Michiel Huisman, Alfonso Herrera, Ed Skrein, Cleopatra Coleman, Fra Fee, Rhian Rees, Jena Malone, E. Duffy, Charlotte Maggi, Sky Yang, and Staz Nair.
Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire will arrive in theatres for one week beginning December 15th and streams on Netflix December 21st, 2023. Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver will be released on April 19th, 2024.
