Netflix's Action-Loaded Agenda: Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon and More!
As the year winds down, Netflix gears up for a thrilling lineup, bringing back powerhouse director Zack Snyder with his latest live-action venture, Rebel Moon, set to debut at the end of December. Rebel Moon promises to be an expansive space opera, touted as Snyder's rendition of Star Wars. And here's the kicker – it's just the first installment, with a sequel slated for release in April 2024.
Action aficionados are in for a treat this December with three gripping movies hitting Netflix's screens. Among these, Zack Snyder offers a unique take on the zombie heist genre. Plus, if you've missed the latest live-action Batman, you're in luck – The Batman, alongside other DC hits, has found a home on Netflix.
Warner Bros. inked a deal to bring some of their top superhero flicks to Netflix, including The Batman, Man of Steel, and Wonder Woman. This move caters to audiences who missed out on experiencing Matt Reeves' The Batman in theaters last year. In this rendition, Robert Pattinson dons the cape as Bruce Wayne, facing off against Paul Dano's enigmatic and menacing Riddler, who targets Gotham City's corrupt elite. With allies like Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz) and James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright), Batman embarks on a mission to thwart The Riddler's sinister plans and protect the innocent.
Venture back to the iconic '80s with Eddie Murphy's charismatic presence in Beverly Hills Cop, now available for streaming on Netflix. Axel Foley, Murphy's quick-witted Detroit cop, journeys to California on a quest for justice following his best friend's murder. His relentless pursuit of the truth leads him into a confrontation with a drug lord, Victor Maitland (Steven Berkoff). Despite clashes with local law enforcement, Axel garners allies and forms an unconventional team to bring Maitland down. Fans of Murphy's portrayal of Axel Foley can anticipate his return in Beverly Hills Cop 4, slated for a 2024 release on Netflix.
Zack Snyder, recognized for his devoted fan base and their impactful #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement, has shifted his focus to Netflix, bringing high-octane action to the streaming platform. After the success of Army of the Dead in 2021, Snyder's latest venture involves a gripping narrative set in Las Vegas post-zombie outbreak. Casino owner Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada) hires ex-mercenary Scott Ward (Dave Bautista) to recover $200 million left inside the city. Ward assembles a team for the high-risk mission to retrieve the fortune before the military plans to nuke the quarantined zone.
