Of course, one film in particular from Zack Snyder’s filmography has come to echo the success of “Dawn of the Dead.” In 2021, Netflix released Snyder’s “Army of the Dead,” a post-apocalyptic heist adventure crawling with zombies. The film was a massive success for the streaming platform, with Netflix claiming it was watched by over 70 million households. “Army of the Dead” was enough of a hit to spawn a prequel and a potential sequel titled “Planet of the Dead.”
With this in mind, it’s interesting to note how few horror films Snyder has actually made, especially when you consider just how much audiences devoured and enjoyed his two unrelated zombie films. Whether this could lead to more horror films coming down the pipeline for the director, including the possible “Army of the Dead” sequel, remains to be seen. While it’s unknown what Snyder’s top priority will be once he’s wrapped things up with “Rebel Moon,” no doubt, the filmmaker’s devoted fanbase will be excited no matter which genre he chooses to dive into next.
