Zack Snyder Says Netflix Wants Him To Keep Working On The 'Rebel Moon' Films, But Fans Will Be Pumped About Which Of His Movie Franchises He Really Wants To Revisit
Visionary director Zack Snyder has been incredibly busy since stepping away from his DC projects in the last few years, and it was recently announced that he might return to one of the cinematic worlds that made him a household name, "300," for a TV prequel. However, it's another action movie from his past that he's more eager to revisit, all while Netflix execs are urging him to continue working on "Rebel Moon" films. Snyder returned to the streamer, so to speak, with the second chapter of his epic space saga, "Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Scargiver," the highly anticipated sequel to 2023's "Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire." But in a recent interview with Looper, the filmmaker expressed his eagerness to launch the next chapter of another somewhat recent franchise, his "Army of the Dead" saga.
