The new edits are set to "delve further into the mythology and madness of Zack Snyder’s epic sci-fi saga" and are described as a "viciously sexier, bloodier world".
"In Snyder’s director’s cut, a peaceful settlement on a moon in the furthest reaches of the universe finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius, and Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger living among the villagers, becomes their best hope for survival," the synopsis adds.
"Tasked with finding trained fighters who will unite with her in making an impossible stand against the Motherworld, Kora assembles a small band of warriors – outsiders, insurgents, peasants, and orphans of war who share a common need for redemption and revenge.

"As the shadow of an entire Realm bears down on the unlikeliest of moons, a new army of heroes is formed."
The original cut of second movie The Scargiver dropped in April, though set an unwanted record for Snyder after attaining his lowest-ever score on Rotten Tomatoes following brutal reviews.
Meanwhile, Snyder recently opened up about plans for a third Rebel Moon movie, confirming they have "definitely been working on a Part Three".
"We definitely know where we're all headed – we've known that for quite a while, to be honest," he added to Forbes.
Rebel Moon – Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness will be available to stream on Netflix from August 2.
