Even though Zack Snyder has been hard at work on his newNetflixfilmRebel Moon, he still finds time to engage in fun interactions with fans on his preferred app of choice. One recent interaction, in particular, led to a deal with the promise of releasing a never before seen image fromRebel Moon.James Gunn, recently assigned DC Studio President, plans to reboot the DC franchise that Zack Snyder started withMan of Steel, which has led to turmoil between fans of Snyder’s incomplete DC saga and cast, such as Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman and Henry Cavill’s Superman. DespiteThe Flashbeing an upcoming DC film that could bridge the gap between the DCEU that Snyder established and the rebooted DCU, seeing as how the Scarlet Speedster is a DC character whose powers deal with storytelling devices like the multiverse and time travel, leaks suggest thatSuperman and Wonder Woman were cut fromThe Flash. In all the confusion, excitement, and anger surrounding the shifting tides of DC Studios, Snyder quietly made a deal with a fan to release an image ofRebel Moon.RELATED:Henry Cavill Confirms He Will Not Return As Superman In DC UniverseTwitter user Amateur Watcher shared a screenshot of a private message with Snyder, in which they asked the director if he would share anever before seen image ofRebel Moonif their tweet about the film hit 500 retweets.

Even though the image is unfinished, without color grading and final composition, one can appreciate theStar Wars-inspiredatmosphere of isolation in a distant galaxy. This is enhanced by the feeling of hope and determination thanks to its lighting and architecture. Not much else can be inferred from the image alone other than a tease to its mystery, which includes an impressive cast and original story that may aidRebel Moon’s success on Netflix.
Snyder directedRebel Moonand co-wrote its story, but he is also in charge of cinematography. As a result,Rebel Mooncould be the most Snyder-esque film yet, and with the freedom brought on by Netflix, fans could be in for something spectacular. As far as what the future holds postRebel Moon,Snyder may have teased a Henry Cavill collaboration, but with the actor removed from the Superman role, nothing is guaranteed.
Rebel Moonwill release on Netflix in 2023.
