It’s been around six months since Zack Snyder unleashed the first half of his new sci-fi epic, Rebel Moon, but it’s felt like a lifetime. Netflix is unveiling the project with all the urgency of an IV drip; the streamer clearly wants to capitalize on Snyder’s infamous director’s cuts, so much so that it commissioned two versions of Rebel Moon. The first films (Snyder’s story was split into two installments) premiered in December 2023 and April 2024, but largely failed to garner much interest outside Snyder’s cult fandom. Still, a lackluster reception hasn’t stopped Netflix from plowing through with their oddball release plan, and the R-rated extended cuts of Rebel Moon are set to drop this summer.
