Zack Snyder has a new Netflix movie in the pipeline and it looks like he just landed an interesting new addition to the cast. Cary Elwes, known for his beloved character in the Princess Bride among other notable roles, is set to join the cast of Rebel Moon.

Rebel Moon is Zack Snyders stab at a Star Wars-esque sci-fi epic. The movie depicts a peaceful colony that is threatened by the armies of a despot names Regent Belisarius. The small planet sends out an emissary to seek out aid from neighboring planets to fight back against the invasion. This will be his next project following The Army of the Dead and his directors cut re-release of Justice League.

While we have a brief plot description for Zack Snyders Rebel Moon, along with the casting details, theres no information yet on who Cary Elwes will be playing. We do know that Sofia Boutella will be playing the young emissary sent to call on the help of other planets. We also know that Rupert Friend will be playing the tyrant Regent Belisarius. At this point, Elwes could be playing for the good side or for the bad guys. Well have to wait for more information about the cast or maybe a trailer to come out before that can be determined.

In addition to Cary Elwes, the cast for Zack Snyder in Rebel Moon seems pretty stacked. Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Doona Bae, Rupert Friend, Ray Fisher, Stuart Martin, Corey Stoll, Michael Huisman, and Alfonso Herrera are all onboard as well. Shay Hatten and Kurt Johnstad handle the script.

Before Rebel Moon hits, well be getting another Zack Snyder project in 2022, with a TV series based on The Army of the Dead. The show is called Army of the Dead: Las Vegas and depicts the initial outbreak of the zombies in Vegas. That wont be the end of Snyders new zombie-focused cinematic universe, as a sequel to the first movie has been announced titled Planet of the Dead. He also has a movie announced called The Fountainhead which is based on an Ayn Rand novel.

In addition to starring in Zack Snyders Rebel Moon, Cary Elwes has plenty of upcoming projects as well. Hell have a role in the upcoming seventh entry to the Mission: Impossible series. That movie wont be hitting until July of next year, but it has a stacked cast as well. Elwes will be starring alongside heavy-hitters like Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Hayley Atwell, and more. Mission Impossible 7 will be directed by Christopher McQuarrie.
