Ray Fisher’s Darrian Bloodaxe is one of the few impressive characters in Zack Snyder’s latest feature, Rebel Moon. However, fans have become pretty vocal about how Bloodaxe meets his death in the film. Many believe that Fisher was underutilized in the film. And they are not wrong about that!
In Netflix’s latest space opera flick, Fisher plays Devra’s (Cleopatra Coleman) brother, Darrian. He agrees to join the team of soldiers Kora (Sofia Boutella) brought together to protect her homeland from the army of Imperium (Motherworld). Many of his followers lose their lives in a battle that breaks out after Kai (Charlie Hunnam) betrays Kora’s group.
There are numerous flaws in the latest Snyder directional. But the film also has some positives, and one of them is Ray Fisher’s Darrian Bloodaxe. However, considering how little screen time he received, the movie does not do justice to the actor’s abilities. Fisher is a great acting talent. Just when we start rooting for Darrian in the film, he dies.
Check out below how fans have reacted to the unexpected death of Darrian Bloodaxe (Ray Fisher) in Rebel Moon!
Yup, all the folks they 'recruit' are absolutely sidelined till the movie is over. We even discover we're supposed to have cared about Ray Fisher's lieutenant and thought of them as part of the gang the whole time!

Ray Fisher is so good, but this is such a thankless role, I have to imagine he gets a LOT MORE to do in the missing hour.

Although, many believe that Fisher would receive a lot more screen time in Snyder’s cut of Rebel Moon. The director holds a significant portion of the film’s footage for his cut. It means fans may get a more satisfying portrayal of Darrian Bloodaxe in the helmer’s version of the movie. This scenario looks strikingly similar to Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which treated Fisher’s Cyborg as its ‘heart’ rather than just a normal side character. On the other hand, Joss Whedon’s version of Justice League really did him dirty.
