Between Dune: Part Two and Zack Snyder’s new movie Rebel Moon, 2023 is shaping up to be a big year for fans of epic sci-fi fantasy.

On Tuesday, Netflix released the first look images for Snyder’s upcoming movie about a young woman who becomes the unlikely leader of a group of warriors, defending their galactic colony from an invading force.

Here’s the movie’s full synopsis:

When a peaceful colony on the edge of a galaxy finds itself threatened by the armies of a tyrannical ruling force, Kora (Sofia Boutella), 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.
