A few days ago, the first trailer for Starship Troopers: Traitor Of Mars debuted online, in light of the 20th anniversary of Starship Troopers. The newest installment will reportedly place the franchise's focus back on the stars of the original Starship Troopers movie: Johnny Rico and Dizzy Flores. In this semi-sequel, Caspier Van Dien and Dina Meyer are returning to voice their respective characters of Rico and Flores.

Description Of Traitor Of Mars Release

In addition to the announcement of Traitor Of Mars, a plot description was released. In the description, we learn that Johnny Rico will be demoted and relocated to a Mars based station. It's there that Rico will have to stop a secret bug attack while the Federation wages an all out assault on the bug's home planet. And somewhere along the way, Rico will be reunited with his presumed to be dead friend, Dizzy Flores.

Anyone who's seen Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers knows that Dizzy dies after being fatally wounded during an escape off of the bug planet. She appeared dead at the time, despite the Federation possessing a machine that can essentially resurrect people. Even though we witnessed the machine being used on Rico during the first movie, it wasn't used to revive Dizzy.

Nevertheless, Dizzy's death being established in the first movie makes it quite a surprise to hear of her return. The details surrounding her role in Traitor Of Mars is still unknown, so there's no way to determine how Dizzy will be brought back in to the franchise. Although, only a few logical explanations can be made for how she'll return after an all but certain death.

How Will Dizzy Flores Rejoin The Starship Troopers Universe?

The most logical way for Dizzy (Dina Meyer) to make a comeback is for her to be resurrected with a machine similar to the one used to revive Johnny Rico in the first movie. Some fans could argue that since the machine wasn't used right after Dizzy's death that she couldn't believably be resurrected with it. However, the Starship Troopers universe has always made a point of developing new technology, meaning a more advanced version of the resurrection machine used on Rico could in fact have been created between the events of the first movie and Traitor Of Mars. In that scenario, Dizzy could be brought back without much difficulty. Of course, that's only one believable scenario.

Another more believable explanation for how Dizzy can be brought back into the fold might not even constitute a resurrection. For all we know, Dizzy's presence in Traitor Of Mars could simply be a vision sequence. It's possible Johnny Rico will wind up in a situation where he ends up hallucinating a vision of Dizzy. With that potentially being the only instance of Dizzy appearing in the movie

The other explanation for Dizzy's presence in Traitor Of Mars could just be a set of flashback sequences between Rico and Dizzy. In the original story, they're friends before becoming members of the Federation and spend time together on the same squad, which means a set of flashback scenes could be where Dizzy will make her appearances.

Will We Learn More About Dizzy Before The Movie's Debut?

For now, these are all merely theories on how Dizzy will make her return. Any one of them could believably explain her resurgence. But until we learn more plot details, we can only speculate. The good news is that a glimpse at Dizzy in Traitor Of Mars was caught in the trailer, so Dizzy is definitely coming back one way or another.
