Netflix Halts Zack Snyder’s ‘Army of the Dead’ Franchise After a Tough Year - Main Image
According to reports, Netflix has scrapped the planned anime series and the much-awaited expansion of the "Army of the Dead" franchise, both directed by Zack Synder.
In the first few weeks after its debut, "Army of the Dead," a popular action-horror movie on Netflix, attracted over 75 million viewers, ranking it as the ninth most-watched Netflix film ever.
Zack Synder reportedly intended to build a full-fledged universe for the series, and he had grand ambitions for the next movies.
Affected Projects Due to Army of the Dead Franchise Cancelation
The director's adaptation of Army of the Dead depicts a post-apocalyptic world overrun with zombies, whereas the original film, which was released in May 2021, under the same name, follows a gang of survivors as they plot a robbery at a Los Angeles casino. "Army of Thieves,...

In bad news for the Rebel Moon director, Netlix is electing not to move forward with Zack Snyder’s Army Of The Dead franchise.
Zack Snyder’s style of filmmaking has always been somewhat polarising, but at the moment he seems to be struggling to catch a break on that front.
His recent duo of Rebel Moon sci-fi movies came and went without much appreciation, as did the now trademark director’s cuts as well. Of course, critical appreciation hasn’t always been of paramount importance to Netflix when greenlighting new films, with the mighty algorithm considering innumerable statistics – far beyond critical appreciation – when deciding which projects should continue and which shouldn’t.
However, the winds of change are gusting over at Netflix too. Dan Lin is now in charge of the studio’s film division and we’ve now entered the era of ‘make ’em cheaper, make ’em better.

In a significant shift, Netflix has quietly shelved plans to expand Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead” franchise into a full-fledged cinematic universe, canceling both a anticipated sequel film and animated series spinoff.
The streaming giant had greenlit “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas” and “Planet of the Dead” to continue the story of Snyder’s zombie heist thriller, which attracted 75 million households in its first month after debuting in 2021. However, low viewership of the director’s recent Netflix epic “Rebel Moon” has reportedly caused the platform to halt building out the “Army of the Dead” universe.
“Army of the Dead” proved a massive hit for Netflix, with the prequel film “Army of Thieves” also performing well with 72 million viewing hours in its second weekend. But sources say Netflix has lost enthusiasm for Snyder’s ambitious plans after “Rebel Moon” parts 1 and 2 failed to break into the streamer’s Top 10 despite initially high viewing,...

Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead 2, officially titled Planet of the Dead, was given a disappointing update in regards to the movie's upcoming Netflix release.
Army of the Dead was released in 2021 and followed a group of mercenaries as they tried to pull off a $200 million heist in a zombie-filled Las Vegas.
After the Netflix film was released, talks of a sequel and other spin-offs were discussed, with one, a prequel named Army of Thieves, already on Netflix.

Zack Snyder is many things as a filmmaker. Chief amongst them? The man is ambitious. While the results of those ambitions are often divisive, nobody can deny that Snyder tends to swing for the fences. He didn't just pitch a "Superman" film to Warner Bros. and DC, he pitched a full-on, wild take on the franchise. It didn't exactly pan out but he had big plans. Similarly, in the aftermath of the mess that was "Justice League," Snyder went to Netflix to make the zombie heist flick "Army of the Dead." It was meant to be the start of a big franchise, with sequels, spin-offs, and more to follow. Now, it looks like the franchise is pretty much dead in the water.
This tidbit comes from a recent profile piece for The Wrap, which focuses on how Zack Snyder and his producing partner, as well as his wife, Deborah Snyder...

We have some bad news to report, horror fans. It looks like we won't be seeing any more new installments in the Army of the Dead franchise like we had been initially promised. All of the Army of the Dead future films and the animated series have been reportedly quietly canceled. More on this below.
Back in September 2020, months before Army of the Dead had even come out, Netflix had announced that it would be working with Zack Snyder again to make a prequel movie and an animated prequel series. Then, in July 2021, the streaming giant greenlit a direct sequel to Army of the Dead, a film that Snyder was said to start working on after making Rebel Moon.
While the prequel movie Army of Thieves did get made and come out in 2021, the animated series and the live-action sequel haven't. The animated series was officially titled Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas,...

For a while, Zack Snyder was building a cinematic universe for the Netflix streaming service that centered on his zombie movie Army of the Dead. The film was quickly followed by a prequel called Army of Thieves, a sequel called Planet of the Dead was being written, and an anime series called Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas was in the works. But Snyder has since shifted his focus over to building a multi-media universe around his Rebel Moon sci-fi movies – and The Wrap has revealed that Netflix “quietly canceled” plans for an Army of the Dead Universe.
In an article on the Rebel Moon films that features interviews with Snyder and his wife and producing partner Deborah Snyder, The Wrap mentions, “Army of the Dead, a movie the Snyders made for Netflix before Rebel Moon, had a similarly ambitious (universe/franchise) plan, with several sequels and spin-offs in the works,...

Seventeen years after remaking George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, Zack Snyder returned to the realm of zombie cinema with Netflix’s Army of the Dead in 2021, which was supposed to spawn a prequel movie, a live action sequel, and an animated series. To date, only the spinoff prequel – Army of Thieves – has seen the light of day… and that may remain the case.
A new report from The Wrap seems to indicate that Netflix has pulled the plug on the Army of the Dead Universe, with the sequel movie and the animated series being scrapped.
The planned animated series was titled “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas,” and last we heard, Snyder’s live action sequel to Army of the Dead was going to be titled Planet of the Dead.
Both projects, however, may have been buried six feet under.

“We’ve got to visit them one day!”
It is, among everything else happening in “Space Babies“, a pretty throwaway line. Ruby Sunday notices the Tardis has landed indoors, and says “Is that like a matter transporter, like in Star Trek?” And the Doctor answers, “We’ve got to visit them one day!”
Blowing that one line up into an entire article may seem excessive.
But the thing is, when Russell T Davies announced he’d be getting back on his throne as the King of Doctor Who, he had lots of new ideas, but also, some that he never got around to. We already know that episode five of this series is based on an idea that was too expensive to film last time.
And one of the Great White Whales of Davies’s last tenure, ever since the Eccleston days, was a Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover episode.

For years, Zack Snyder considered making a sequel to his breakthrough film, a remake of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead. But following his packed schedule in the late-2000s and his commitment to the Dceu in the 2010s, a bigger and better sequel never came through.
However, following his departure from the DC universe, in 2021, Snyder was able to revisit the realm of zombies with Army of the Dead, a spiritual successor to the 2004 remake, thanks to Netflix. But unlike his first zombie release, Snyder assured fans that a sequel to the 2021 movie is on the cards, but it might take a while.

Zack Snyder made his name with his gruesome, much more action-y remake of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead in 2004. The director then tried to line up an even bigger sequel called Army of the Dead for years, but there were many detours along the way, including his eventual role as the chief architect of the early Dceu. He finally returned to his long-lost zombie sequel in 2021, this time as the launching point of a whole new cinematic universe for Netflix, which also included a crime thriller prequel called Army of Thieves and even an animated series about the initial outbreak in Las Vegas.
There was also talk of a direct sequel to Army of the Dead, which left no shortage of mysteries left to answer in a part two. Were Dave Bautista’s Scott Ward and his team of mercenaries in a time loop all along? What...

“Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb!” Zack Snyder lit the fuse of several fandoms while appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience after saying Batman is “irrelevant” if he can’t kill, and more people saw Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire on Netflix than Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar cinematic sensation, Barbie, in theaters. During his chin-wag with Rogan, Snyder expressed his gratitude for partnering with Netflix for several projects, including Army of the Dead, Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire, and upcoming features like Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas, Planet of the Dead, and Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver.
According to Zack Snyder, he’s done the math and believes more people streamed the first chapter of his Rebel Moon saga on Netflix than Gerwig’s $1.4 billion grossing pink-coded box office blockbuster. Math was never my strong subject in school,...

Zack Snyder's sci-fi film "Rebel Moon: Part One -- A Child of Fire" -- to cite its full title -- is due for release on December 15, 2023, and, like all of Snyder's films, promises to be visually complex and cinematically overblown. Snyder loves a certain kind of hazy photography as well as bold, brassy characters, usually living within an action-packed milieu that allows them to deliver profound-sounding platitudes in bedroom-voiced monologues while slashing people open in slow-motion. "Rebel Moon" will be a sci-fi riff on the "Seven Samurai" story, with a distant-future agrarian moon standing in for a beleaguered 16th-century Japanese village, and an encroaching Empire-like army standing in for Kurosawa's itinerant bandits. Sofia Boutella will play a character who travels the galaxy to gather up a ragtag group of failed warriors to protect her moon from almost-assured destruction.

Zack Snyder’s 2021 zombie movie Army of the Dead was supposed to spawn an animated series titled “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas,” you may recall, but it’s been a while since we’ve heard a peep about that project. In a new interview with Total Film that went up today, Snyder suggests that the planned animated series is no longer moving forward at Netflix.
Additionally, Snyder tells Total Film that “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas” would’ve revealed that the franchise takes place in the same universe as Snyder’s upcoming Rebel Moon.
“Army of the Dead has a pretty vast mythology that never made it into the movie,” Snyder explains. “There’s actually a character from Rebel Moon in the Army of the Dead animated series that we never did.”

Zack Snyder’s zombie movie Army of the Dead spawned the Netflix spinoff movie Army of Thieves in 2021, but what about an actual sequel? Last we heard, Planet of the Dead will be Snyder’s official sequel to Army of the Dead, and Snyder provides an update this week.
The basic gist? Snyder is currently hard at work on another Netflix property, his sci-fi epic Rebel Moon, which is taking up the bulk of his time. Planet of the Dead will have to wait.
“As far as the Army Universe goes, it’s still alive and well in my mind,” Snyder tells The Nerd Queens. “I know exactly what I would do. It really depends on how we try to figure out how we go forward with Rebel Moon and the Rebel Moon Universe. It’s not a small-time commitment. A sci-fi thing at this scale does require a lot...

A few years ago, Zack Snyder started building the Army of the Dead franchise at the Netflix streaming service. His zombie movie Army of the Dead was quickly followed by a prequel called Army of Thieves. An animated series called Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas was in the works, and Snyder himself was expected to direct the Army of the Dead sequel Planet of the Dead. He was developing the Planet of the Dead script with Shay Hatten, who co-wrote the first film with him… But we haven’t heard anything more about that project in a while, because Snyder has shifted his focus to building another franchise at Netflix. The sci-fi franchise Rebel Moon. Now, in an interview with The Nerd Queens (as reported by Collider), Snyder has confirmed that Planet of the Dead will have to wait until after they know exactly where the Rebel Moon franchise is going.

Warning: this Doctor Who review contains spoilers.
As the middle child in a run of Doctor Who specials, ‘Legend of the Sea Devils’ finds itself in something of an unenviable position. Much like Easter 2009’s ‘Planet of the Dead’, the episode can’t rely on the star power of foes like the Daleks or Cybermen, and people are already looking past it in anticipation of upheaval and an upcoming regeneration later in the year.
Of course, the same was true of ‘The Waters of Mars’, and that more than earned its place in fans’ hearts thanks to its great premise and performances, so it’s still possible for a stand-alone story to surprise us if it’s told well. ‘Legend of the Sea Devils’, it must be said, is not a surprising story, although the tone it takes is rather unexpected.

Never one to do things in small measures, Zack Snyder developed his zombie movie "Army of the Dead" to launch a shared universe featuring spinoffs, sequels, and prequels. The first such addition to the franchise, this past October's "Army of Thieves," revealed what the oddball safe-cracker Ludwig Dieter got up to before joining a crack team of mercenaries to break into a legendary vault stuck in the middle of zombie-overrun Las Vegas in "Army of the Dead." Snyder is also planning to make a sequel movie — titled "Planet of the Dead" — that may yet include a spot for Dieter in its story.

After premiering on Netflix in May, Zack Snyder’s zombie heist movie “Army of the Dead” was quickly reanimated for the prequel treatment. Just five months later, “Army of Thieves,” which has perhaps the fastest turnaround ever for a follow-up film, expands the world by exploring the backstory of quirky safecracker Ludwig Dieter, played by actor and director Matthias Schweighöfer.
“Army of the Dead” smashed together the zombie, action and heist genres to huge success; Netflix reported a substantial 75 million member households watched the film in its first 28 days. Starring Schweighöfer, Dave Bautista, Ana de la Reguera, Omari Hardwick, Tig Notaro and more, the ensemble cast is hired by a mysterious billionaire named Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada) to break into a Las Vegas casino and rob a vault in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.
Unsurprisingly, many of the characters met their zombie-bitten doom by the time the credits rolled.

While his Warner Bros/DC Films Snyderverse may be dead, following the zombie action flick “Army of The Dead,” Zack Snyder seems to be developing a mutually beneficial working relationship with the streaming giant Netflix. After the success of his zombie film for the streamer, the filmmaker secured two projects in a row at Netflix: the sci-fi film “Rebel Moon” and “Planet of The Dead,” the latter being his sequel to “Army of The Dead.”

This article contains spoilers for Army of Thieves and Army of the Dead.
Army of Thieves, the prequel to Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, has less to do with zombies than you might expect. Yes, there are a few undead creatures shambling around the claustrophobic hallways of Ludwig Dieter’s (Matthias Schweighöfer) nightmares and on European newscasts showing the horrific outbreak in Las Vegas, but the movie’s not really interested in what’s happening across the Atlantic. Instead, Army of Thieves is about the mythical safes built by legendary (and fictional) locksmith Hans Wagner, one of which will eventually become the vault Scott Ward (Dave Bautista), Ludwig, and the rest of the squad of mercenaries will risk their lives for in Army of the Dead.
Years before that fateful heist in post-apocalyptic Las Vegas, Ludwig is a man named Sebastian, a bank teller living in the city of Potsdam,...
