It’s official: we’re coming into a brand new period with upcoming DC films and upcoming DC TV reveals. Final week, DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran unveiled a slate of 10 initiatives that compose the launch of the DC Universe franchise’s Chapter One, titled Gods and Monsters. And but, there’s a phase of the DC fanbase that’s clinging to the hope that Zack Snyder can in the future end telling his saga with these superhero characters. Simply final month, a brand new fan marketing campaign began rolling round to someway promote the Snyderverse to Netflix, and Gunn has now given two the reason why the #SellTheSnyderVerseToNetflix hashtag is “the wackiest.”
James Gunn shared his ideas on the topic after a fan commented with the hashtag to his tweet that merely confirmed an image of Swamp Factor, who’s getting a brand new film that James Mangold might direct. Gunn responded to the Zack Snyder supporter with this:
I’ve to say, this has acquired to be the wackiest hashtag ever since 1) Netflix hasn’t expressed any such curiosity (though we’ve mentioned different stuff) & 2) Zack hasn’t expressed any curiosity & appears to be blissful doing what he’s doing (and, sure, we too have talked).
DC and Netflix do have already got a relationship because of the latter streaming service being the house of The Sandman and Candy Tooth, two TV diversifications of comedian e book sequence that had been printed by means of DC’s now-defunct Vertigo line. And whereas James Gunn revealed that there are continued discussions between the 2 sides, not solely has Netflix not expressed any curiosity in tackling the Snyderverse, neither has Zack Snyder himself. Keep in mind, the person is already has sufficient on his plate to ship to Netflix subscribers within the coming years, together with his sci-fi epic Insurgent Moon, which boasts an enormous forged.
After James Gunn tweeted his opinion about #SellTheSnyderVerseToNetflix, one other fan was inquisitive about what he and Zack Snyder have talked about, to which the filmmaker mentioned in a brand new tweet:
He contacted me to precise his assist about my selections. He’s a fantastic man. Once more, he appears actually proud of the large world constructing he’s doing now.
So there you may have it: not solely is Zack Snyder already content material together with his work on the two-part Insurgent Moon and the Military of the Lifeless franchise, he sounds thinking about what James Gunn and Peter Safran have cooked up over at DC. That’s to not say that Snyder couldn’t sometime direct one other DC film, however between Watchmen, Man of Metal, Batman v Superman: Daybreak of Justice and his reduce of Justice League, the person has already performed round fairly a bit on this proverbial sandbox. So sorry to the Snyderverse followers on the market who’ve been hoping that Snyder may proceed fleshing out his nook of the DC multiverse at Netflix, however that simply isn’t within the playing cards.
You’ll be capable to see how Insurgent Moon turned out when the primary half hits Netflix on December 22, and as soon as Snyder’s work on this sci-fi world is completed, presumably he’ll flip his consideration to helming Planet of the Lifeless. So far as DC goes, though there are 4 upcoming DC films lined up this yr, James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Universe gained’t formally kick off on the cinematic entrance till Superman: Legacy comes out on July 11, 2025, although it’s attainable that the animated Creature Commandos sequence may premiere to HBO Max subscribers beforehand.
