Rebel Moon, the new film from director Zack Snyder, has released a behind-the-scenes teaser.

The space opera, which will be released on Netflix later this year, follows Kora (Sofia Boutella) as she battles against the Imperium, the oppressive governmental force.

The behind-the-scenes video features interviews with the cast, which includes Charlie Hunnam and Djimon Hounsou, before ending with an ominous clip as three space vessels approach a group of characters.

Snyder, who has previously directed 300 and Justice League, said that Rebel Moon had existed "elementally for 20 years", adding that it was a story of "a few against many, impossible odds and good versus evil" and that he had always wanted to make a "giant, atmospheric space adventure".

The logline for the film, which is due to be followed with a second part, reads: "When a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora, a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival.

"Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Mother World, Kora assembles a small band of warriors — outsiders, insurgents, peasants and orphans of war from different worlds who share a common need for redemption and revenge.

"As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a battle over the fate of a galaxy is waged, and in the process, a new army of heroes is formed," it concludes.

In addition to Boutella, Hunnam and Hounsou, the stacked cast includes Michiel Huisman, Staz Nair, Ray Fisher and Jena Malone. Stuart Martin, Corey Stoll and Cary Elwes have also been cast in undisclosed roles.

Rebel Moon is due to be released on Netflix in December.
