Zack Snyder’s two-part movie Rebel Moon has always had a suitably epic cast, but we haven’t known much about the movie other than a group of heroes band together to try to protect the peaceful, agrarian moon colony of Veldt from the sinister, overwhelming forces of the Imperium. But now Netflix has revealed the characters who will take a doomed stand against tyranny—and the bastards who will try to take them down—in this Seven Samurai-inspired sci-fi saga, which releases its first installment in December.2 / 17According to Netflix, Kora is “an Imperium deserter who leaves the peaceful Veldt to fight back.”3 / 17“A Veldt farmer who knows little of the galaxy outside of his small, quiet corner of the galaxy.”4 / 17“A mercenary pilot whose Tawau-Class freighter will prove invaluable to Kora’s quest.”5 / 17As his name indicates., Titus was once a leader of Imperium forces but is now “a hardened gladiator.”6 / 17Nemesis is “a cyborg sword master whose mechanical hands allow her to wield molten-metal weapons.”7 / 17“A noble indentured servant who shares a bond with a flying creature called a Bennu.”8 / 17Milius is “a refugee who seeks justice for their home—a colony that has already fallen to the Mother World.”9 / 17Snyder’s Cyborg gets the somewhat elaborate name “Darrian Bloodaxe” to go with his character description: “an insurgent who has been harrying the Imperium with guerilla attacks.”10 / 17Not pictured: Jimmy, “an ancient robot knight that once defended a slain king but has now faded into a more peaceful existence.” He’ll be voiced by Anthony Hopkins.11 / 17In case the Space Nazi leading the charge didn’t clue you in, these are the bad guys.12 / 17The Scribes are “the priests of the Mother World’s religion; they use human beings’ bodies to record information.”13 / 17Contrary to his name, Skrein says Noble is “a ruthless, cold man who has chosen horror over morality for the directness of it. In a world where morality is waning, he has cast morality aside in the name of ambition.” 14 / 1715 / 1716 / 17Want more io9 news?
