SDCC 2025: Duncan Jones will appear to help promote Rogue Trooper based on the Rebellion series. Get a first look!

Posted on by

The eagerly anticipated movie adaptation of classic British comic Rogue Trooper, written and directed by Duncan Jones, has released four still images offering fans their first look at the upcoming movie.  

The first of the new images shows breakout talent Aneurin Barnard as the Rogue Trooper. Alongside this, we see Jemaine Clement and Matt Berry as scheming battleground looters Mr Brass and Mr Bland. We also get a glimpse of a hulking war vehicle roaming the planet Nu Earth, where the brutal war between the Norts and Southers takes place. The third image depicts two Souther soldiers, lost, traversing the toxic wasteland and battlefield.

Duncan Jones will be appearing at San Diego Comic Con on July 25 (2-3pm PDT at the Rebellion stand, booth number 2121) to meet fans and sign a limited run of the Rogue Trooper hero image.

Behind the scenes images of actors Jemaine Clement and Matt Berry as Mr Brass and Mr Bland were also released, illustrating the facial capture technology used in the creation of Rogue Trooper.

An animated science fiction feature from Rebellion and Liberty Films, Rogue Trooper tells the story of 19, a ‘Genetic Infantryman’, who finds himself the sole-survivor of an invasion force. Desperate to track down the traitor who sold him and his comrades out, the super soldier is accompanied by three killed-in-action squad mates, whose personalities have been stored in his gun, helmet and backpack.

The Rogue Trooper movie features an ensemble cast, that also includes Hayley Atwell, Jack Lowden, Daryl McCormack, and Reece Shearsmith, Diane Morgan, Alice Lowe, Asa Butterfield, and Sean Bean.

Principal Photography was completed in 2024 utilising the cutting-edge Head Mounted Camera (HMC) technology and expertise of Motion Grinder. Imagery and animation partner Treehouse Digital processed and applied the data to the characters within Unreal Engine 5, handing over to Liberty Films’ own VFX and animation teams to light and finalize, bringing the incredible world of Rogue Trooper to life.

The film is produced by Stuart Fenegan alongside Jason Kingsley, Chris Kingsley and Duncan Jones.

Rogue Trooper was created by legendary artist Dave Gibbons and writer Gerry Finley-Day.
