Zack Snyders Rebel Moon Casts The Mummy Star Sofia Boutella

Sofia Boutella has been cast as the lead in Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon. Boutella made her big debut in 2014’s Kingsman: The Secret Service, playing the lethal assassin Gazelle. She went on to star in a number of high-profile projects, including Star Trek Beyond and Atomic Blonde. She also starred in the titular role for the Dark Universe entry of The Mummy in 2017 with Tom Cruise and later starred in HBO’s Fahrenheit 451 with Michael B. Jordan, Hotel Artemis with Dave Bautista, and with Nicolas Cage in this year’s Prisoner’s of the Ghostland from director Sion Sono.

Snyder has released two films in 2021, most recently his Netflix zombie actioner Army of the Dead, as well as his 4-hour version of Justice League, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which debuted on HBO Max in March. Snyder has since moved on from WB and the DCEU to focus on his own intellectual property, including the Army of the Dead universe and making Netflix the home for his content for the time being. The other project announced through his Netflix deal was Rebel Moon, which is said to be a reworked version of his original pitch for a Star Wars film.

Today, via Deadline, it was announced the Boutella would be leading Snyder’s Rebel Moon, taking the key role in the Netflix original film. Apparently, Snyder had been testing a number of female leads for the film and Boutella quickly became the top choice. Rebel Moon is co-written by Snyder with Shay Hatten and Kurt Johnstad and produced by Zack and Deb Snyder’s The Stone Quarry label, which just released their Army of the Dead prequel spinoff Army of Thieves, which is currently the #1 movie on Netflix.

Rebel Moon is “set in a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy” which finds itself “threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius.” The colony dispatches “a young woman with a mysterious past to seek out warriors from neighboring planets to help them take a stand [against] the Tyrant.” Based on the announcement and the role being a female lead, it would seem that Boutella would be playing the unnamed “young woman” in the description. Snyder is no stranger to working with a female lead, as his film Sucker Punch featured an all-female lead cast and his subsequent films, including Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and his latest, Army of the Dead, have traditionally featured strong, “badass” female characters.

Boutella is an inspired choice to work with Snyder, as she’s more than proven not only her acting chops, but her physical ability to deliver on the action and spectacle of big-budget event-style pics. As Rebel Moon is an original IP under Snyder, it’s impossible to know just how well-suited Boutella is for what he has planned, which also adds to the excitement of such a project. New characters and a new universe make for new opportunities across the board, including how the film is cast. Snyder has said he’d possibly cast more of his favorites for the film, as he enjoys working with his usual crew, but this is a first-time collaboration between the filmmaker and Boutella and it will be cool to see what kind of visual language they cook up for Rebel Moon.
