A new teaser trailer has arrived for Zack Snyder's sci-fi epic "Rebel Moon," which will roll out in two parts.

Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins can be heard narrating the sneak peek, which arrived Tuesday. The legendary actor lends his unmistakable voice to Jimmy, an ancient robot.

"I was given memories of a world I will never see, loyalty to a king I cannot serve and love for a child I could not save," Hopkins says, as an enemy starfleet invades a peaceful agrarian planet.

"Kingsman" star Sofia Boutella plays Kora, a mysterious resident of the moon whose history in combat is glimpsed in the trailer.

"I am a child of war," she says. "I was taught that love is a sign of weakness."

"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" against the regime, Netflix teases.

"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 ... a new army of heroes is formed," the description continues.

"Rebel Moon" also stars Charlie Hunnam from "Sons of Anarchy," "Deadpool" actor Ed Skrein, and Djimon Hounsou from "Gladiator" and "Guardians of the Galaxy."
