Her fate changes as Atticus Noble (Ed Skrein) comes to Veldt via a Dreadnought-class battle cruiser and among orders from Balisarius (Fra Fee). She teams up with teams up Veldt farmer Gunnar (Michiel Huisman), mercenary Kai (Charlie Hunnam), Titus (Djimon Hounsou), Tarak (Staz Nair), Nemesis (Doona Bae), refugee Milius (E. Duffy), and the insurgent siblings Darrian (Ray Fisher) and Devra Bloodaxe (Cleopatra Coleman) to fight their way through the regime.

“They’re all misfits,” Snyder told Netflix Tudum. “They’re all healing and finding a place to belong. It’s a movie about finding a family.” He also teased a scene where Kora and her teammates fondly reflected on the moon and whether it’s worth dying for.“That’s really at the heart of the movie in a lot of ways: Kora finding a place to call home, something that she wants to protect.”
So who is Rebel Moon‘s narrator and what role do they play in the film? Read more to find out.
Who is Rebel Moon‘s narrator?
Rebel Moon‘s narrator is Anthony Hopkins who also voices the robot Jimmy in the film. Jimmy is a robot who served under a king, but now has pivoted towards a more peaceful existence.
Writer Kurt Johnstad hinted that we’ll be seeing more of his character in the extended cuts and in Rebel Moon—Part 2. “Jimmy has a much bigger story in those extended cuts and certainly in the second movie. It’s a little bit like Jimmy goes from this sentient robot to really becoming a little more human, and he goes a little feral,” he told Variety. “When everybody is being collected and the team is getting built, he’s running around in the woods being like a feral creature and hunting and sitting by the brook and catching fish and doing Jimmy things out in the woods, so that’s where the crown of antlers comes from.
The role also holds close to Snyder. “Jimmy’s really in a lot of ways the heart of the movie,” Snyder told Netflix Tudum. “He’s sort of more human than the humans. We had to record [Anthony] before we shot the movie, so we recorded all his dialogue, almost like an animated film, like a scratch track. And then we went back after we did the movie and he did it [again].”
Snyder expanded on Jimmy’s role in the sequel to Screen Rant. “I’ll just quickly say that in the director’s cut, there’s a bit more of Jimmy. You can imagine. I think that Anthony, when we talked about it, just seemed to be really interested in exploring the humanity of a robot. When I pitched it to him, that’s kind of what I said. “That’s kind of what you would be doing”. And he was like, “Oh, that’s cool. Yeah, wow, okay. What is that?” I think that got his gears turning.”
He continued, “In Part 2, I don’t think I’m going to be giving too much away by saying that there’s a chance there’s more conflict coming. I think that Jimmy has to make a choice about how much will he really stand up for the villagers? It’s cool.”
Rebel Moon—Part 1: A Child of Fire is now streaming on Netflix.
