Zack Snyder Exiting Netflix As He Moves To Restore The SnyderVerse?

Recent reports indicate Zack Snyder might be leaving Netflix. This fits with earlier information suggesting he’s considering a return to the ‘SnyderVerse’ – potentially funded by investors from Saudi Arabia and whichever company ultimately acquires Warner Bros. Discovery, either Comcast or Paramount.

Report Claims Netflix Projects Are Being Shelved

What’s on Netflix reports that Zack Snyder’s anime series, Twilight of the Gods, has been canceled. They also suggest his planned crime thriller set in the LAPD might not be produced.

According to the site, Snyder’s films didn’t perform as well on Netflix as the company had hoped, and projects like Army of the Dead and Rebel Moon are currently stalled.

The site adds that “recent reports” suggest Snyder’s LAPD movie won’t be released:

Zack Snyder’s films haven’t performed as well as Netflix expected, leading the director to move on to other projects. As a result, plans for sequels to Army of the Dead and Rebel Moon have been put on hold. A planned crime thriller set in Los Angeles may also be cancelled, according to recent reports.

Fans are now speculating that Zack Snyder is exiting Netflix.

Move Away From Netflix Matches What We’ve Been Told

Although it might seem concerning, this timing aligns with reports from our sources: Zack Snyder is reportedly working to revive his vision for the DC Universe, with financial support from Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is reportedly aiming to create a blockbuster movie franchise to compete with Marvel’s Avengers, and they’re hoping Zack Snyder will be the director to make it happen.

Sources close to the situation suggest that Zack Snyder might return to directing DC projects, potentially under new ownership. Both Paramount and Comcast are interested in acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), and it’s been reported that Saudi investment is supporting both of their bids.

At the same time, numerous reports have said Netflix really isn’t in the mix to buy WBD.

So, I’m hearing rumors Zack Snyder might be finishing up his work with Netflix, and honestly, it makes a lot of sense. It seems to perfectly coincide with everyone anticipating his return to the DC Universe. It’s like the pieces are falling into place for him to get back to those characters and stories we all know he loves.

The WBD Sale Is the Final Piece

Now that Warner Bros. Discovery is about to be sold, sources say James Gunn is likely to leave his position and the creative direction established by Zack Snyder will be brought back.

Recently, Deadline supported our reporting by highlighting comments from an industry source who doubted James Gunn’s long-term role at DC Studios. This came after Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav referred to Gunn’s DC Universe plans as focusing on the “Superman family” of characters.

As a big fan of Zack Snyder, it’s becoming clearer to me that his time with Netflix might be winding down, and honestly, it makes sense. It feels like he’s intentionally freeing himself up for a bigger comeback to the DC Universe, and I’m really excited about that possibility!
