Although Zack Snyder's first Rebel Moon film's director's cut on Netflix on August 2nd, that isn't the only project just waiting to fly. Viewers were first exposed to Snyder's most recent Netflix partnership: Twilight Of The Gods in a recent Next on Netflix sizzle reel highlighting the streamer's upcoming animated projects. Based in Norse mythology, Zack Snyder's Twilight of the Gods is scheduled for a September 19th Netflix premiere. Designed by Eric Carrasco (Foundation), Jay Oliva (Trese), and Snyder, the program boasts animation from Stone Quarry, his own studio.
Twilight Of The Gods boasts the voices of excellent actors...
Before Rebel Moon's two-part film premiere, Zack Snyder spoke about his hope the movies would start a franchise—a vast IP and universe he could keep developing. Though Snyder's Rebel Moon successors could still come to pass, Twilight of the Gods is the more intriguing concept. Apart from maybe launching a multi-story franchise of its own, the epic Animated Series has the chance to atone for Snyder's previous Rebel Moon mistakes. Furthermore, Twilight of the Gods is based on already-existing mythology, which lets Snyder concentrate on his own style.
Set in a legendary world full of great wars, Sigrid, a warrior he falls in love with saves the mortal king Leif. Thor's fury on the couple's wedding night drives Leif and Sigrid to start a road of revenge against the God of Thunder. Dubbed a "daring and spectacular vision of ancient Norse mythology" by Netflix, Twilight of the Gods stars top-notch actors Sylvia Hoeks, Stuart Martin, Pilou Asbaek, John Noble, Paterson Joseph, Rahul Kohli, Jamie Clayton, Jamie Chung, Lauren Cohan, and Corey Stoll.
Claimed to be a must-see movie event, filmmaker Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon films fell far short of their epic potential. The first in the two-part epic, Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire from 2023 was an exposition-stuffed, formula-following sci-fi film with bad reviews from both viewers and critics. While its follow-up, 2024's Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver was supposed to offer an epic, action-packed ending to all of that derivative world-building. Rather, for Snyder and Netflix, the Rebel Moon sequel was maybe an even more explosive bomb.
Though Snyder, who developed and co-wrote the space opera, intends to premiere an R-rated Rebel Moon director's cut soon, it is evident that his intended launch of a Rebel Moon cinematic universe is looking less likely. The director worked with Netflix on his post-apocalyptic zombie heist movie, Army of the Dead, previously. Much more popular than Rebel Moon, the Army of the Dead series shows that, with the correct content, Snyder can bring his own, slow-motion-laden vision to life on the streamer. This makes his next program much awaited.
With a 37% on Rotten Tomatoes, Rebel Moon - Part Two has received poor reviews. Though it is an action-packed adventure, the sequel is thought to be less interesting and more formulaic than Part One. The fact that the movie emphasizes big, computer-generated image action scenes at the expense of the story and character development frustrates many. Although the premiere of the movie was a big event for Netflix, the direction of the series currently seems doubtful.
