Sofia Boutella and Ed Skrein Unpack Their Rebel Moon Characters

Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire, the latest from director Zack Snyder, pays homage to classic sci-fi space opera and ensemble-building stories, like Star Wars. At the center of this narrative is Kora, played by Sofia Boutella, a former Imperial soldier with a dark, violent, and morally ambiguous past, and Atticus Noble, played by Ed Skrein, the ruthless Imperial Admiral with a fanatical devotion to the despotic Regency and a personal bone to pick with Kora. When Kora’s new home is threatened by Noble and the Imperial Army, she and a naive farmer scour the galaxy for the most infamous rebels, warriors, and renegades in the universe. Unfortunately, Noble’s forces are never far behind.In an interview with CBR, Sofia Boutella (Kora) and Ed Skrein (Noble) dive into their onscreen relationship, their respective roles as hero and villain, getting into their characters, the effort that goes into staying in character, and maintaining the tension between takes.Ed Skrein: It’s really interesting, me and Sofia. I think she’s the only person in the cast that I knew before we started. We were supposed to do three movies together, we’ve been trying to get something going, and this just happened to be the first one! So this is really interesting in that way. There’s a photo we took in front of Sunset Galleries on the first day that we came in, and we’re like, “Yay!” We’re all happy and normal! [laughs] I think she was the most surprised by how deep I went into it and how far I went into Noble, so maybe even that created this weird kind of thing that, underneath, we’re close, but she was so deep into Kora and I was so deep into Noble. We never had any problems, but there was this weird kind of natural onscreen tension. I think that the fact that this was a couple with the relationship before that and then, of course, afterward, is what’s really interesting about how tangible that chemistry was.
