Director Zack Snyder has detailed how the titles for both Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire and it’s sequel, Part Two: The Scargiver, are connected through the universe’s mythology. The two-part film tells the story of Kora (Sofia Boutella) protecting the moon of Veldt from the Motherworld, a corrupt space empire seeking to take advantage of the moon’s resources and people. The first part focuses on Kora gathering warriors to protect her people, while the second part details the plan being executed.
Speaking with Empire, Snyder revealed how the titles for the upcoming Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire and Part Two: The Scargiver are connected. He hints at the myth of the deceased Princess Issa and how a prophecy connected to her also entwines with Kora’s story. Check out what Snyder had to say below:
We had the titles for a long time. A Child Of Fire has a double meaning. The Child Of Fire could be Princess Issa, this myth that runs through the stories. The robots that we refer to as Jimmy, the Anthony Hopkins character, were created to protect the unborn Issa and lost all their purpose when she was assassinated. Kora [Sofia Boutella’s character] is also a child of fire: she was a war orphan. Her home was burned down and she was snatched up and brought into the army.
[Kora’s] nickname is the Scargiver, which is also related to her relationship with Princess Issa. Those two myths are braided together in a pretty cool way, I think…. The second movie is really a war movie. At the beginning they harvest the crops, and we have a bunch of stuff in the village, sort of the ‘Why We Fight’ aspect of the movie. We have time for relationships. Then the next thing is the big battle. It’s really fun.
More to come…
