Join us as we take a look into all the characters and actors confirmed for Rebel Moon on Netflix:
Sofia Boutella as Kora
Sofia Boutella is the primary lead of Rebel Moon and she’ll be playing Kora. As a former member of the Imperium, Kora knows exactly what happens to the people who live in the places where the organization arrives for exploitation next. She wants the community to stand up and fight back against the government that has the clear intention of tearing their land apart. Kora is meant to be a complex hero, due to the fact that she used to work for the Imperium before changing her mind and dedicating her life to protecting those who couldn’t protect themselves. She has the destiny of the galaxy in her hands.

Djimon Hounsou as General Titus
Djimon Hounsou will portray wounded hero called General Titus. He knows that his prime is already in the rearview mirror.

Charlie Hunnam as Kai
Charlie Hunnam will be in charge of playing Kai, a pilot who will do whatever he can to help Kora in her quest of saving her new home.

Added to that, a hero who has left his glory days behind him will be needed to accomplish the mission, and Kora will need to do whatever it takes to convince him of joining her quest.
