Director Zack Snyder gave a small glimpse of his upcoming sci-fi movie, Rebel Moon, which will premiere exclusively on Netflix. Snyder originally proposed the script as a standalone Star Wars movie over a decade ago, but when Disney acquired Lucasfilm, the idea was scrapped and put on ice until now.

　　Snyder showed off new photos on his Twitter to show the first day of filming including a black-and-white close-up of Djimon Hounsou's character, General Titus, and some kind of ramp entryway that Snyder fans were already comparing to a similar shot in Justice League.

　　Rebel Moon will tell the story of a peaceful colony at the end of the galaxy, which sends a mysterious young woman to recruit interplanetary warriors who'll battle a tyrannical dictator named Balisarius, who will be played by Rupert Friend, who can also be seen in the upcoming Obi-Wan series as the Grand Inquisitor.

　　Joining Friend and Hounsou will be Charlie Hunnam, Doona Bae, Jena Malone, Cary Elwes, Corey Stoll, Staz Nair, E. Duffy, Charlotte Maggi, Sky Yang, and Snyder alums Ray Fisher and Stuart Martin from Netflix's Army of the Dead spin-off Army of Thieves.

　　No release date has been announced for Rebel Moon.
