To date, the fate of Rebel Moon is unclear but, if Netflix authorizes a third film, Zack Snyder already knows what will happen to Balisarius.
Netflix has not yet confirmed the return of Rebel Moon After Daughter of Fire And The Scarmakerbut Zack Snyder is a river in flood and continues to fuel hope by sharing small details regarding a potential plot of the third film. In particular he focused on the role of Balisarius after what happened in La Scargiatrice. Considering what happened to Admiral Noble after yet another clash with Kora, it is natural to wonder about the fate of Balisarius, very close to the protagonist who he raised like a daughter.
Rebel Moon 3, Zack Snyder reflects on the future of Balisarius
If in the first part Daughter of Fire Kora has already addressed Admiral Noble attempting to defeat him, in the second part La Scargiatrice manages to complete the task by definitively beheading him. This means that the character will most likely not return in a hypothetical third film. What will become of Balisarius instead? Zack Snyder asked himself the same question and, to the microphones of The Hollywood Reporter, attempted to give an answer by anticipating how Noble’s death will also impact Balisarius’ life. According to the director, this character is preparing to become the protagonist of the franchise.
I think we’ll find out a lot more about Balisarius himself as we move forward. If I were to make the rest of the stories I have in mind, there would definitely be an increase in Balisarius’ involvement. And he would happen exponentially, he would gain more and more space until the point where only Balisarius and Kora would remain.
Zack Snyder has never hidden his intention to continue in the science fiction franchise proposed by Netflix, but it is not clear what his fate is, considering the lukewarm welcome of the second part and the panning of the criticism. In any case, also according to the co-scripts Kurt JohnstandSnyder would have such a rich story in mind that he could make four more films.
