“It’ll be interesting for you when you see the director’s cuts”: Fan-favorite Rebel Moon Character Will be Much More ‘Badass’ in Zack Snyder’s Cut

Known for movies such as 300 and Watchmen, Zack Snyder is rightly counted among one of the greatest directors of the generation. Now, his latest movie, Rebel Moon, takes fans to the vast expanse of space, where humanity clings to survival on distant moons.

While critical reception for the Netflix movie has been divided, one character has emerged as a clear fan favorite: Jimmy, the android voiced by the legendary Sir Anthony Hopkins. Now, talks of a director’s cut promise to reveal even more about the enigmatic character.

Zack Snyder Reveals Jimmy’s Extended Role In Rebel Moon’s Director Cut

Zack Snyder and the team of Rebel Moon recently sat down for an interview with Looper. There, they all touched upon a lot of things, including the character of Jimmy, which took everyone by surprise. His presence and air of mystery earned the attention and love of the fans.

To further add to the excitement, he was voiced by Sir Anthony Hopkins. It seems that not only the viewers but even the director was impressed with the character. While Snyder was not very confident about how pivotal he was in the overall story, he finds Jimmy to be a pretty badass character.

“I don’t know that he is, because he was written as literally a quest knight that had a religious crisis during the Crusades. (Zack Snyder talking about how pivotal Jimmy is to the story)

That was basically the thesis with him. And so he’s a badass, in the end, he’s a reluctant gunfighter. It’s just getting him to pick up the guns again that’s the challenge … But we need him to do it. What is it going to take for him to do it? It’ll be interesting for you when you see the director’s cuts because there’s so much more Jimmy. It’s probably another half an hour of Jimmy in the director’s cuts, which will be fun for you probably if you’re a fan of his.”

While details of the director’s cut are still mostly under wraps, fans will be happy to learn the extended role of Jimmy. Despite a pleasant presence in the movie, his character was almost cut off in the midst of the movie before returning towards the end. Thus, his story in between these events might be worth a watch.

When Is Rebel Moon Director’s Cut Coming Out?

Zack Snyder revealed some key details of the Rebel Moon Director’s Cut in an interview with Forbes. “We don’t have a hard date but probably sometime in August, I would say.”, said Zack Snyder during the interview.

Rebel Moon is a huge story split into two movies, with the second part, Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver, hitting Netflix on April 19, 2024. Thus, fans can expect the extended cuts of both movies to start streaming later this year. Snyder also revealed that the two extended cuts will be around three hours each, totaling more than six hours for the entire experience.
