In recent years Zack Snyder has been busy with his DC blockbusters and highly-anticipated personal cut of Justice League.

Yet since moving on from the comic book franchise, the director has begun collaborating with Netflix.

The 57-year-old returned to zombies with Army of the Dead, but instead of making a sequel has now set his sights on a passion project he’s been planning for years.

At one point Rebel Moon could have been the filmmaker’s Star Wars movie after he pitched the concept to Lucasfilm over a decade ago.

Nevertheless, his original story has found its home at the streaming behemoth where it’s getting two parts and, you guessed it, an R-rated extended Snyder Cut.

Today the first trailer for Rebel Moon has arrived giving an immersive first look at Snyder’s epic space opera.

Express.co.uk attended a preview with Snyder this morning where we were treated to a special version of the trailer including R-rated scenes that will end up in the director’s cut.

An official synopsis teases: “When a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy is threatened by a tyrannical ruling force, a mysterious stranger becomes their best hope for survival.”
