Sofia Boutella defends the first chapter of Rebel Moon
In a recent interview with Vulture, Sofia Boutella defended the first chapter of Rebel Moon, stating: “I always thought I was totally ready to take those punches, and then I read the critics who attacked Rebel Moon – Part 1: A Child of Fire and it really struck me. I'll just be honest. I feel like I'm doing it for everyone who cared so much about this project, and that's what struck me. Not because of how I get out of it. I was pretty lucky and people liked my work on the project, but the film was criticized." The actress then added: “It hurt me a lot for all these people who put so much heart, tears and sweat into this project. Seeing it demolished like that is really hard. I'm proud to have been part of it and, if there are no more chapters of Rebel Moon, it will still be an important part of my life that I will defend forever."
