Director Zack Snyder is bringing us a sweeping sci-fi epic for Christmas, with Netflix<\/a> original film Rebel Moon being described in early previews as his answer to Star Wars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Certainly, there are some similarities in the basic concept, with both films following a band of resistance fighters as they take on a sinister, dominant imperial force.<\/p>\n

However, this being a Snyder film, you can expect it to be an altogether darker take on the material, with the filmmaker promising plenty of violence, language and all-round edginess.<\/p>\n

Fans will spot some repeat collaborators among the cast, including Justice League<\/a>\u2018s Ray Fisher and Suckerpunch\u2019s Jena Malone, alongside other big names including Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou and Charlie Hunnam.<\/p>\n

The film is still some time away \u2013 expected to launch on the streaming platform in December \u2013 but here\u2019s everything we know so far about the cast and characters in Rebel Moon.<\/p>\n

Sofia Boutella plays Kora<\/strong><\/h2>\n
