The second part of Zack Snyder’s sci-fi epic Rebel Moon arrived on Netflix last week, and quickly soared to the top of the streaming service’s most-watched movies list.

Most of the all-star cast are reprising their roles in Part Two: The Scargiver, making for an impressive ensemble of acting legends, TV stars and promising up-and-comers.

The second instalment picks up with Kora and the surviving warriors as they prepare for battle against the tyrannical Motherworld to defend their homeland.

Read on to find out where you’ve seen the cast of Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver before…

Sofia Boutella

Leading actor Sofia returns as the titular Scargiver Kora in part two. This follows her huge role as antagonist Ahmanet in 2017’s The Mummy reboot opposite Tom Cruise.

Her first major film role back in 2015 was also a big one, playing Samuel L Jackson’s henchwoman Gazelle in Kingsman: The Secret Service, before she starred opposite Nicolas Cage in Prisoners Of The Ghostland.

More recently, she played Eve Mansour on SAS Rogue Heroes and appeared in an episode of Guillermo del Toro’s anthology series Cabinet Of Curiosities. Her other film roles include Argylle, Star Trek Beyond, Prisoners of the Ghostland, Fahrenheit 451, Hotel Artemis and Atomic Blonde.

Music fans might recognise Sofia as a former dancer for Madonna – she performed on the Queen of Pop’s Confessions Tour and appeared in the music videos for Hung Up, Sorry and Celebration. She also went on to star opposite Dave Grohl in Foo Fighters’ music video for Shame Shame in 2020.

Djimon Hounsou

The twice Oscar-nominated actor plays Titus in the Rebel Moon franchise and was initially best known for his roles in 2002’s In America and 2006’s Blood Diamond opposite Leonardo DiCaprio.

Since then, he’s joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, playing Korath the Pursuer in Guardians Of The Galaxy and Captain Marvel. He’s also across the DC universe as The Wizard in Shazam! and Black Adam.

Djimon’s other previous roles include Gladiator, Amistad, The King’s Men, A Quiet Place Part II, 2019’s Charlie’s Angels, Serenity, King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword, The Legend of Tarzan, Air, Fast & Furious 7 and Elephant White.

You might also recognise Djimon from his stint as a Calvin Klein underwear model back in the mid-2000s.

Anthony Hopkins

The Welsh acting legend, who voices Jimmy in the second Rebel Moon instalment, is best known for his Oscar-winning roles playing Hannibal Lecter in The Silence Of The Lambs. More recently, he won a second Academy Award thanks to his moving performance in The Father with Olivia Colman, which made him the oldest winner in an acting category at 83 back in 2021.

You’ll also be familiar with his extensive filmography ranging from One Life, The Remains Of The Day, The Elephant Man, The Two Popes, Amistad, Hitchcock, Alexander and much more.

He also earned an Emmy nomination for his role as Dr. Robert Ford in HBO’s dystopian western series Westworld, before it was cancelled after four seasons.

Ed Skrein

You’ll probably know the London-born actor, who plays Atticus Noble in both Rebel Moon films, for playing Ajax in Deadpool opposite Ryan Reynolds, as well as a brief three-episode stint as Daario Naharis in Game Of Thrones’ third season (after which he was replaced by Michiel Huisman, which he claimed at the time was due to “politics”)

Other past film roles of Ed’s include The Transporter Refuelled, Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil, Alita: Battle Angel and If Beale Street Could Talk.

Michiel Huisman

In a slightly awkward twist of casting fate, it was Michiel (aka Gunnar in Rebel Moon) who replaced Ed Skrein as Daenerys Targaryen’s love interest and advisor Daario Naharis in Game Of Thrones (don’t worry though, Michiel has insisted he “got on really well” with his now co-star).

You might have also seen him in shows like The Haunting Of Hill House, Nashville, Echo 3, Treme, Angela Black and The Flight Attendant.

Other past credits of Michiel’s include A Boy Called Christmas, The Other Lamb, The Last Right and The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society, Irreplaceable You, The Age Of Adaline, Wild, World War Z and The Young Victoria.
