Sofia Boutella & Ed Skrein Reveal Why Rebel Moon 2 Is an Actor's Dream

In the days leading up to the Netflix premiere of Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire, we're learning all we can about this Star Wars-inspired universe known as Motherworld. The passion project of Snyder's is now an ever-expanding original IP that's debuting with a stacked cast and more of the director's signature style his fans love.
Rebel Moon begins on a rural farming planet, Veldt, on the outskirts of the galaxy. Here, a mysterious stranger, Kora, played by Sofia Boutella, crash lands and learns the way of the people, leaving a tortured past behind. Kora's newfound peace is short-lived, however, when the tyrranical Regent Balisarius (Fra Fee) and his malicious Admiral Atticus Noble (Ed Skrein) learn that the citizens of Veldt have sold crops to a family of Motherworld rebels, the Bloodaxes. In an effort to stand up against Balisarius' armies, Kora must embark on a mission to recruit a band of fighters to lead a revolution. Rebel Moon also stars Academy Award-winner Anthony Hopkins, Cleopatra Coleman, Djimon Hounsou, Charlie Hunnam, and more.
In an interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Boutella and Skrein sit down to talk about how they were able to tap into their characters, who are each on opposite sides of the Rebel Moon spectrum. They share their favorite Snyder movie, which scenes from Part One and Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver they're most looking forward to audiences seeing, and discuss the heavy action in both. Skrein also shares how Deadpool director Tim Miller helped ease his nerves on set.

They should have cast Ed as The Sentry. He is so knowledgeable about comics and comic book writers

Skrein always freak me out when he enters the scene. It has to be the facial expressions and his demeanor. Sorry Ed@ you're just 😑 too intimidating. 🙂
