The first film of Rebel Moon, titled Part One: A Child of Fire, is not only a success among Netflix users and Star Wars fans but has also been categorized as the most-watched globally just days after its release. This means that its second installment is already in the works, and the release date has been revealed.
Part Two: The Scargiver will hit the platform a few months into 2024, indicating that filming has already concluded, and viewers won’t have to wait too long for the highly anticipated continuation. Zack Snyder is back in the role of director and also serves as a writer, alongside Kurt Johnstad and Shay Hatten.
Sofia Boutella brings the main character to life, accompanied by many industry greats, including Djimon Hounsou, Jena Malone, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, Charlie Hunnam, Anthony Hopkins and Bae Doona. The story will pick up right where the first part left off, exploring what happened to Kora, Titus and the rest of the group.
Part Two of Rebel Moon has a release date on Netflix
The continuation of Rebel Moon, titled The Scargiver, will be added to Netflix’s catalog on April 19, 2024. According to the specialized outlet Esquire, Zack Snyder not only plans to release the film next year but will include two director’s versions, both for the first and second parts, adding an additional hour of footage to each.

In the first film, A Child of Fire, the story followed a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruler named Balisarius. Desperate civilians send Kora, a young woman with a mysterious past, to seek warriors from nearby planets to help them challenge the ruler.
This time, the plot will delve deeper, revealing many more details about each character that haven’t been seen so far. The acclaimed filmmaker’s epic will come to an end in the spring, and after its success among users of the streaming giant, everything indicates it will once again rise above other titles on the platform.
During an interview with Comicbook.com, the director confessed, “The truth is that the first film is a setup for the second. The ending is a crazy cliffhanger that propels you into The Scargiver. In the first one, we spent a lot of time in the village, establishing a real connection with the place and the people, so that when we have to fight and die for them, we care about them”.
What is Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver about?
A first look at Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver was released by Netflix just three days ago, and the teaser not only provides a glimpse of what will happen in the continuation but also promises a lot of chaos, battle, and bloodshed. In the teaser, we see Atticus Noble rising from the dead and confronting one of the main characters, Kora.
This time, the female icon played by Sofia Boutella and the rest of her group must fight to overcome the tyranny that rules their world, so they have to defeat Mother World. However, with Noble back in the picture, it won’t be an easy task and could turn into a suicide mission for her and all her people.
