Sofia Boutella Stuns at UK Premiere of “Rebel Moon — Part 2: The Scargiver”
French-Algerian actress Sofia Boutella made a bold statement at the UK premiere of her latest film “Rebel Moon — Part 2: The Scargiver” in London this week.
Boutella graced the event in a sleek black suit designed by Stella McCartney, featuring a cropped satin blazer paired with low-rise straight-leg trousers. Her short, dark hair was styled in loose waves, complemented by striking cat-eye makeup.
In the sci-fi adventure sequel, which premiered on Netflix on April 19, a peaceful colony on the outskirts of a galaxy faces a threat from the armies of a tyrannical ruling force.
Behind the Scenes of the Epic Space Opera
Boutella plays the character Kora, who leads a diverse group of warriors including outsiders, insurgents, and war orphans from different worlds. Together, they unite in a quest for redemption and revenge against the oppressive Motherworld.
Director Zack Snyder revealed insights about the two-part epic space opera at Netflix’s Tudum global fan event in Brazil. He shared a glimpse into the film’s creation, based on a concept he has been developing since his college days.
Unveiling Snyder’s Vision
Snyder discussed the storyline, stating, “It’s about a group of farmers on the edge of the galaxy that get visited by the armies of the Motherworld, who are the bad guys. The farmers have to decide to fight or submit.”
He added, “If they had decided to fight, they would have to travel around the galaxy to find warriors to join them. It had us traveling quite a bit.”
This project is not Boutella’s first foray into playing a sword-wielding extraterrestrial. Known for her breakout role in “Star Trek Beyond,” where she portrayed the fierce alien warrior Jaylah, Boutella brings a unique blend of strength and vulnerability to her characters.
