Officially: We are entering a new era with upcoming DC movies and upcoming DC TV shows. Last week, the heads of DC Studios, James Gunn and Peter Safran, presented a list of 10 projects that make up the first chapter of the DC Universe franchise called “Gods and Monsters.” And yet there are some DC fans who cling to the hope that Zack Snyder will one day be able to end his saga with these superhero characters. Just last month, a new fan campaign was launched to somehow sell the Snyderverse to Netflix, and Gunn cited two reasons why the hashtag #SellTheSnyderVerseToNetflix is “the wackiest.”
James Gunn shared his thoughts on this after a fan commented on his tweet with a hashtag, which simply showed a photo of a Swamp Creature that will have a new film, which James Mangold can direct. Gunn responded to a supporter of Zack Snyder like this:
I have to say that this must be the wackiest hashtag since 1) Netflix didn’t show such interest (although we discussed other things) and 2) Zack didn’t show any interest and seemed happy to do it. what he does (and, yes, we also talked).
DC and Netflix already have a relationship thanks to the latest streaming service, which is home to The Sandman and Sweet Tooth, two TV adaptations of the comic book series that were published through the now-defunct DC Vertigo line. And although James Gunn has revealed that discussions are ongoing between the two sides, not only has Netflix expressed no interest in solving the Snyderverse problem, but also Zack Snyder himself. Remember that this man already has enough worries to show Netflix subscribers in the coming years, including his sci-fi epic movie “Rebel Moon”, which involves a huge cast.
After James Gunn tweeted his opinion on #SellTheSnyderVerseToNetflix, another fan wondered what he and Zack Snyder were talking about, to which the director responded in a new tweet:
He contacted me to express his support for my choice. He’s a great guy. Again, he seems to be very happy with the large-scale world-building he is doing now.
So, here it is: Zack Snyder is not only already happy with his work on the two-part Rebel Moon and Army of the Dead franchise, but he seems to be interested in what James Gunn and Peter Safran have prepared in Washington. This does not mean that Snyder will not be able to make another DC movie someday, but between The Guardians, Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and his version of Justice League, he has already played quite a lot in this notorious sandbox. . It’s a pity for Snyderverse fans who hoped that Snyder would be able to continue to reveal his corner of the DC multiverse on Netflix, but it’s just not in the cards.
You will be able to see how Rebel Moon turned out when the first part is released on Netflix on December 22, and as soon as Snyder’s work in this sci-fi world is completed, he will probably turn his attention to managing the Planet of the Dead. As for DC, although there are four upcoming DC films planned this year, James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC universe won’t officially begin on the cinematic front until the release of Superman: Legacy on July 11, 2025, although that’s possible. that the animated series Creature Commandos can be presented to HBO Max subscribers in advance.
