'Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver': Cast and character guide on who’s playing who in Netflix's sci-fi action movie
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Zack Snyder's 'Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver' is releasing on Netflix on Friday, April 19.
Zack Snyder claims that 'Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver' fully realizes his vision for the series. This sequel continues the story from 'Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire', which debuted in December, picking up right where it left off.
Despite receiving poor reviews, the first movie in Zack Snyder's ambitious sci-fi saga 'Rebel Moon' managed to attract a substantial audience. Snyder even claimed, perhaps overly optimistically, that 'Rebel Moon' had been watched by more viewers than the 2023 hit 'Barbie'.
Snyder's loyal fans haven't been left hanging, as the journey continues with 'Rebel Moon Part 2 – The Scargiver'. Most of the original cast, including Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, and Michiel Huisman, are back for this sequel, promising more of the dramatic interstellar action that captivated their audience the first time around.
Here's a handy guide to the cast and characters of Netflix's latest sci-fi film, helping you keep track of who's who.
Sofia Boutella as Kora
Sofia Boutella stars as Kora in 'Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver', portraying a woman from a peaceful farming community in the galaxy. Threatened by a malevolent empire, Kora sets out to gather warriors to overthrow the oppressive rule.
