Rebel Moon, the director’s latest film, did not have the expected reception from the streaming platform.
The Army of the Deaddirected by Zack Snyderpremiered in Netflix in May 2021. The film mixes action and horror in a post-apocalyptic world where a group of mercenaries venture into a zombie-infested Las Vegas to carry out a robbery. The production stood out for its visual spectacularity and its unique approach to the zombie genre, achieving a wide audience and impact on social networks.
Thanks to the success of the film, additional projects were planned. In October 2021, the prequel was released The army of thievescentered on one of the characters from the original film. In addition, more installments were planned, such as Planet of the Dead and an animated series titled Lost Vegaswhich would further expand the universe, but it seems that all of this has been lost forever.
Army of the Dead sequels and spin-offs cancelled?
This morning it was announced that Netflix has decided to cancel all future plans for sequels and spin-offs of Army of the Dead. The news came quietly, with no official announcements, as reported by The Wrap. The reasons behind this decision seem to be linked to the recent performance of Rebel Moonanother ambitious Snyder franchise that failed to achieve the expected success.
Rebel Moon, with its director’s cuts released just a few days ago, received mixed reviews and a lukewarm response from audiences. The new material for the saga failed to convince either subscribers or critics. This failure could have led Netflix executives to reconsider their trust in Snyder, especially when it comes to expensive and large-scale projects.
