• Army of the Dead 2 is coming, but not so soon

Army of the Dead 2 is reportedly coming to Netflix, but fans of Zack Snyder's zombie movie will have to wait a while for the sequel to arrive. On Wednesday, July 21, a Hollywood Reporter exclusive revealed that Snyder's Stone Quarry Productions company had signed a headline deal with Netflix. The article focuses on the overall two-year agreement between Snyder and the streaming giant, but, in the blink of an eye and you'll miss it, THR alleged that after much speculation following the release of the first film, Army of the Dead 2. is in the works. According to THR's report, Snyder has teamed up with Army of the Dead head writer Shay Hatten to develop a sequel to one of the most-watched Netflix Original movies of all time (before deadline). However, he doesn't expect an Army of the Dead sequel to arrive in the next 12 months. Snyder is currently working on another original movie for Netflix called Rebel Moon, a movie based on a failed Star Wars idea that Snyder pitched to LucasFilm and Disney, which will be his first project for Netflix since he signed that first deal with the streamer. There's also an Army of the Dead spin-off movie, titled Army of Thieves, coming to Netflix later this year, so Snyder fans have another movie to look forward to before the end of 2021. An Army prequel animated series of the Dead, called Lost Vegas, is also in production for the streaming giant, which is slated for a 2022 release.

Analysis: Zack Snyder's partnership with Netflix seems perfect

(Image credit: Netflix) It's no surprise that Snyder and his wife Deborah signed a two-year deal with Netflix. The pair spoke enthusiastically about their partnership with the streaming giant, and in particular Scott Stuber, the head of Netflix's movie division, since they began collaborating on Army of the Dead. In contrast, Zack Snyder has become increasingly outspoken about his working relationship with Warner Bros., particularly after the release of his director's cut of Justice League in March. The duo's relationship with Netflix appears to give them a great deal of creative freedom, something Deborah Snyder credited for signing a landmark deal with the company. "For us it was very important to find a partnership based on mutual respect," she told THR. “The creative process works best when everyone trusts each other and you can take risks and be creative. For us, we don't usually play it safe. The content we create is a bit more daring. And I think it's important to have a good partnership and get along. “And Netflix has given us a lot of freedom. But they also embraced the idea of ​​trying new things and not necessarily waiting for success before moving on. With Army of Thieves slated to hit Netflix later in 2021, and three other projects currently underway for the streamer, the Snyders seem to have confidence in Netflix and vice versa, and that can only be a good thing for their passionate fans.
