Netflix has revealed the official trailer for the second part of Zack Snyder’s space epic Rebel Moon.

The streamer dropped the trailer for Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver on Monday (below).

More from The Hollywood Reporter

Part Two is being released April 19 — four months after Part One, which ended on a cliffhanger.

Writer-director Snyder previously told The Hollywood Reporter in a recent cover story that he hopes to eventually make a third film as well. In between, there will be a graphic novel, a podcast and a photo book.

Rebel Moon co-writer Kurt Johnstad previously told THR of Part Two: “I would say that it’s definitely its own movie, and it’s a very different movie. It’s not an assembly of the team. The team is built, and now it’s why they fight. I think [the PG-13 cut] is two hours, or maybe it’s more, but it’s a nonstop action roller-coaster ride of twists and turns. And the ending is spectacular.”

The official description: “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver continues the epic saga of Kora [Sofia Boutella] and the surviving warriors as they prepare to sacrifice everything, fighting alongside the brave people of Veldt, to defend a once peaceful village, a newfound homeland for those who have lost their own in the fight against the Motherworld. On the eve of their battle the warriors must face the truths of their own pasts, each revealing why they fight. As the full force of the Realm bears down on the burgeoning rebellion, unbreakable bonds are forged, heroes emerge, and legends are made.”

The project also stars Djimon Hounsou, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, Doona Bae and Anthony Hopkins.

There is also a “hardcore” extended cut that exists of the first two parts of Rebel Moon, but no word yet on a release date.

“There’s definitely a lot more story at the front of the movie,” Johnstad has teased of the extended cut. “You’re definitely going to get a lot more Jimmy and see his arc, and you’re going to get a lot more of Kora and the Motherworld. You’re going to get a different introduction to Noble. You’re also going to get a different introduction to some smaller characters like Aris [Sky Yang], who’s the Motherworld soldier that defends the character of Sam in the granary. So you get an interesting look into why he is now constricted as a slave soldier of the Motherworld and how he got there. So his arc is much more defined. But just in broad brushstrokes, there’s more character, and certainly knowing Zack, there’s more action and spectacle and the visual vibrance of what he does. There’s definitely a lot more mythology, and a deeper understanding of the Motherworld and their intention, and what the rebellion is coming up against. So there just wasn’t enough time. It would’ve been a four-hour PG-13 movie.”
