Zach Snyder Gives Update On 'ARMY OF THE DEAD Sequel 'PLANET OF THE DEAD'

Zach Snyder digs zombies. That’s been proven a few times over. His Netflix film ‘Army Of The Dead’ spawned the prequel flick ‘Army Of Thieves’ which we enjoyed but what about an actual sequel to ‘Army’? Welp yesterday Snyder chimed in on just that.

Snyder is currently hard at work on another Netflix property, his sci-fi epic Rebel Moon, which is taking up the bulk of his time. Planet of the Dead will have to wait.

“As far as the Army Universe goes, it’s still alive and well in my mind,” Snyder tells The Nerd Queens. “I know exactly what I would do. It really depends on how we try to figure out how we go forward with Rebel Moon and the Rebel Moon Universe. It’s not a small-time commitment. A sci-fi thing at this scale does require a lot of attention to make it all make sense.”

What can we expect from Planet of the Dead thou?

Snyder recently told Inverse that Dieter, the safe-cracking character played by Matthias Schweighöfer in Army of the Dead, could be making his return in Planet of the Dead.

“The real adventure would be to see what happened to [Dieter] when that safe door closed. Did he get killed by Zeus or not? What happened? We don’t see him die on camera, and there’s still some time left. I won’t tell you what happens in Army of the Dead 2 – aka Planet of the Dead – but let’s just say that there’s a chance Dieter survives. And there’s a chance that brush with death would have caused him to want to find a jailed Gwendoline,” Snyder teased.

Army of the Dead ends with a sequel tease, with Omari Hardwick’s Vanderohe making it out of Las Vegas alive… with a bite. On a plane to Mexico City, Vanderohe is in the early stages of becoming a zombie when the film comes to a close, suggesting that the zombie virus is spreading beyond the walls of Las Vegas.

We’ll see how this plays out…
