Zack Snyder recently delved into the significance of Gunnar's departure in the latest installment of the Rebel Moon series. The sequel, following the events of Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire, continues the saga of Kora and her band of warriors as they forge an alliance with peaceful villagers to combat the oppressive Imperium forces.
The pivotal moment in 'The Scargiver' involves the death of Gunnar, a character whose sacrifice plays a crucial role in Kora's emotional journey. Snyder explained that Gunnar symbolizes a love that transcends the war-torn universe, offering Kora a glimpse of a life beyond conflict.
Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver showcases Snyder's signature blend of intricate character development against a backdrop of visually stunning landscapes and high-stakes drama. The co-writer, Kurt Johnstad, hinted at plans to expand the series into a six-film epic, breaking away from the traditional trilogy format.
Johnstad revealed that the team has meticulously mapped out the narrative arc for multiple movies beyond the initial trilogy. The decision to extend the series was influenced by the depth of the original script, which exceeded 200 pages, prompting the creators to rethink the storytelling structure.
With Netflix showing interest in the franchise's future, the team is poised to continue the Rebel Moon saga with a clear vision for the upcoming installments. Snyder is already laying the groundwork for the third movie, indicating a swift transition into production once the green light is given.
