"The concept of mythology was really one of the places where we started," Zack Snyder tells GamesRadar+ of his sci-fi epic Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire. "We have myths for all the origin stories of the Motherworld, what they believe. Basically the Genesis of their Bible, we had to write, and we wrote it out pretty extensively."
Rebel Moon is the beginning of an all original universe, and it's on a huge scale. While the story revolves around a woman's quest to save the peaceful moon of Veldt from the armies of the Motherworld (the brutal ruler of the universe), along the way, we get tantalizing glimpses at the sprawling mythology and history underpinning this world. There are shades of Arthurian legend in the worldbuilding – Part One includes a princess with mysterious powers, noble, robotic knights who've laid down their weapons, and a tragically slain king.
