And , for several years , it very understandably referred to the serial publication of DC films managing director Zack Snyder directed and bring forth at Warner Bros. The world where Henry Cavill is Superman , Ben Affleck is Batman , and alegion of fansconvinced a studio apartment to let the film producer revisit and releasea whole new cold shoulder of his pic .
tale of the Snyderverse willecho from here to eternity . It ’s been quite the ride . However , in the past few years , Snyder has been making new celluloid with his own characters . And while the first few of those , Army of the Deadand its prequel Army of Thieves , felt undercoat by comparison , his former film , Rebel Moon , does not . It explores a huge universe , one amply produce and overseen by Snyder himself . So , since the DC characters were not his , but the one of Rebel Moon and Army are , we asked Snyder , is this world now , the real , one true Snyderverse ?
“ Wow , that ’s a nerveless question . It could be . Absolutely . I mean , if there is such a thing , ” Snyder order io9 over video schmooze .

So mayhap the world of Army of the Dead and Rebel Moon is n’t The Snyderverse , but it ’s undeniably A Snyderverse . Because when asked about the question of relate the world of his zombie bank heist film and his outer space opera house , Snyder had a very specific answer . “ It possibly [ has a radio link ] , ” he said . “ It ’s more absurd . There ’s a dimensional rupture at Area 51 that can get you to the Rebel Moon universe , but it ’s not a straight [ production line ] . ”
speak with Snyder it ’s clear he himself does n’t mean in straight lines either . When asked why Rebel Moon had to be break open into two movies , instead of thin back into one , he explained that only did n’t interest him . “ When I originally wrote it , I sort of slightly irresponsibly write a 200 - Sir Frederick Handley Page playscript , and so once I had done that , I was kind of stuck and I did n’t require to take anything out , ” Snyder said . “ And so I was like , the only path I can go forward is to break it into two moving-picture show . And , you have a go at it , Netflix was really incredibly cool about the notion that we would have two movies . ”
In fact , Rebel Moon will be at least four movies . “ We have these two and then the two director ’s cold shoulder , which are an minute longer each , ” Snyder enounce . “ So you do get a lot deeper dive on the creation . ”

I have sex the form of myth that a floor has innately build up into it . And I just get it on exploring it . That ’s what turns me on . And I do it as much as I can . ”
