Netflix Has Reportedly Canceled One of Zack Snyder’s Franchises

As a long-time fan of Zack Snyder’s work, I’ve always admired his unique directorial style and the polarizing emotions it evokes. From Man of Steel to Watchmen, his films have left me both awestruck and confused, which is a testament to his bold vision. But, let’s face it, not every film can be a masterpiece, right?


Anyone who’s seen a film by director Zack Snyder can attest to his unique and, to be frank, unconventional style. His work often leaves viewers divided – some view him as a creative genius, while others see him as falling short – but he always manages to evoke a response. Despite directing some of the most well-known comic book adaptations, Snyder has also made a few significant errors along the way.

Snyder employs a distinctive directing style, characterized by a blend of somber and grim tones in his films. These movies can veer toward the exaggerated and comedic, which is challenging given that seriousness often clashes with such an approach. Previously, he had garnered a specific reputation, but his latest venture – Rebel Moon – turned out to be a catastrophic failure, and it appears that the director is now experiencing the repercussions of this mishap.

It appears that Zack Snyder’s collaboration with Netflix might be coming to an end. After working together on three productions – “Rebel Moon”, the animated “Twilight of the Gods”, and the action comedy “Army of the Dead” which was intended to spawn a series – it looks like one of these projects may have been put on hold, suggesting Netflix is distancing itself from Snyder.

Well, folks, I’ve got some disappointing news to share about Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon. As a fellow gamer and movie enthusiast, I’ve been following its journey closely, and let me tell you, it hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing. The initial releases received harsh criticism, and even the Director’s Cuts didn’t seem to improve things much – a rather unusual situation for a Director’s Cut to be worse than the original!

Did you enjoy the action comedy “Army of the Dead,” featuring zombies and starring Dave Bautista, directed by Zack Snyder? The film received generally positive reviews from fans, which is why it came as great news that Snyder intends to develop a franchise. While a prequel titled “Army of Thieves” has already been released, Snyder also announced plans for additional movies and an animated series.

With strong faith that his Netflix agreement was unchangeable, Snyder felt empowered to pursue his plans and aspirations. However, the disappointing outcome of “Rebel Moon” appeared to impact the future of his partnership with Netflix, as they apparently chose not to proceed (either by canceling or shelving) the “Army of the Dead” series, which is now stalled at Netflix.

In my gaming world, I’ve learned that Netflix has called off all future projects related to “Army of the Dead,” according to an interview Snyder gave for The Wrap. Snyder mentioned in his own words, “We aim high with everything we do.” It seems that the franchise isn’t completely dead, as a themed experience is set to arrive at Six Flags theme parks this Halloween. However, it appears that’s all we can expect for now.
