After leaving the DCEU behind, Zack Snyder has been quite busy with hisRebel Moonfranchise which already has two films to its name. The films revolve around a fictional galaxy ruled by something called the Motherworld.Rebel Moonsees Sofia Boutella in the lead role as she does a splendid job of bringing Korra to life. From the cast to the crew, Zack Snyder worked with brilliant people who were on the top of their game.
However, it seems like the filmmaker felt that there was still a piece missing from the puzzle. As it turns out, the missing jigsaw piece needed to complete the picture is none other than Patrick Tatopoulos, the Production Designer forBatman v. Superman: Dawn of JusticeandZack Snyder’s Justice League.Now, Zack Snyder is hoping his old friend would help him out on the thirdRebel Moonfilm.

Tatopoulos recalled reuniting with Snyder on a panel where the filmmaker asked him to come and work with him onRebel Moon.He went on to state that Snyder’s request made him feel elated and that they had always kept in touch with each other.
When Tatopoulos pointed out that two films had already been shot and the design was already established, Snyder told him that theRebel Moonfranchise was quite likeStar Warsand had the characters entering different worlds.
He then added that Snyder proposed reworking the design completely since he maybe wasn’t too pleased with the work his designers had done on the first and second installments of the franchise.
