Zack Snyder Confirms Which Rebel Moon Character Connects To Army Of The Dead Franchise

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Summary Zack Snyder has previously teased that his Rebel Moon and Army of the Dead franchises are connected.

Snyder clarifies that a Xanadite girl seen in Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire provides this connection.

The character, who originated in the scrapped Army animated show, comes from the planet that is the source of the zombie plague.

Zack Snyder has revealed which character connects Rebel Moon to Army of the Dead. The former title is Zack Snyder's space opera movie series, which began with Part One: A Child of Fire on Netflix in 2023 and is intended to launch a wide-ranging multimedia franchise that includes prequels, comic books, a narrative podcast, multiple sequels, and more. The latter title is Snyder's previous Netflix franchise, a post-apocalyptic zombie universe that already includes a movie, a prequel, a scrapped animated spinoff, and a possible sequel. The filmmaker has previously hinted that both franchises could exist in the same universe.

Snyder spoke with ComicBook.com while promoting the recent Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver release. During their conversation, he revealed that there is a minor character in A Child of Fire who provides the bridge between the franchises. The character is a Xanadite girl who appears briefly at a bar that several of the main characters visit, as Snyder explains that her home planet of Xanadu - which is named after the Olivia Newton-John movie - is "where the zombie plague comes from." He reveals that the character comes "directly from the Army animated series." Read his full explanation below:

Rebel Moon and Army of the Dead definitely can exist in the same universe. I think I've said that, but there's a character in movie one, when they go into -- I don't know if I've talked about this -- when they go into the bar and there's a Xanadite, the Xanadite is that blue girl with glowing markings on her -- she is directly from the Army animated series that we never finished. Where they go, where the zombie plague comes from, is a planet they call Xanadu -- well, the scientists call it Xanadu because they're big fans of Olivia Newton-John -- so they go to Xanadu and the Xanadites, basically where the zombie plague comes from, she's one of them. So there's an interdimensional thing they go through so there is a chance of some weird mashup.
