The more Zack Snyder speaks, the more delusional he gets. That’s the only conclusion I can come up with, between his desire to “fix” “Sucker Punch” and now, hinting at a third ‘Rebel Moon’ movie.
You heard that right, Snyder has confirmed, via Forbes, that he’s working on ‘Part 3’ of his ill-received series and says he’s excited to “make some more Rebel Moon movies.” Will Netflix even dare greenlight a third one? I have my doubts about that. The viewing numbers for the first one, released last December, were fairly disappointing.
It’s quite clear that Snyder has no regrets about hopping on board the “Rebel Moon” train, and, based on his own dubious math, has even stated that more people watched ‘Part 1’ than Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” which made $1.4 billion worldwide at the box-office. The math doesn’t add up.
Snyder’s “Rebel Moon - Part 1: A Child of Fire” bombed hard with critics — the most recent tally has it at 21% on Rotten Tomatoes and 31 on Metacritic. I doubt the upcoming director’s cut will turn it into a good film. “Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver” is available on Netflix this Friday.
