He's out but not forgotten. James Gunn, the maestro now orchestrating the DC Universe, recently unveiled that Zack Snyder, the man behind the controversial and often polarizing Zack Snyder's Justice League, isn't holding any grudges. In fact, he's thrilled about the new direction the universe is taking.
As reported by The Direct, Gunn finally laid bare his epic plans for the first chapter of the newly-defined DCU, fondly tagged as "DCU Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters." And you'd think Snyder would be salty? Nah, he's all love, baby!
The Man Behind the Hashtag
"This has got to be the wackiest hashtag ever," retorted Gunn when a fan used the #SellTheSnyderVerseToNetflix hashtag on Twitter. "Netflix hasn’t expressed any such interest," said Gunn, clearing the air. Turns out, not only has Netflix not shown interest, but Snyder himself seems to be cozying up to his new sci-fi gig with Netflix titled Rebel Moon.
Snyder Says 'Sayonara'
"Snyder himself has moved on," Gunn put it simply. Indeed, the franchise is turning a new leaf and looks like Zack Snyder is doing the same. Fans may remember the Snyder era for its grit and gall, but it's now James Gunn's turn to shine, potentially working with Snyder-era stars like Gal Gadot, Zachary Levi, and Viola Davis.
Could it be that Snyder, too, is thrilled about a more jovial DC Universe? It's not like he's vanished off the face of the planet; the man is busy concocting a new world in Rebel Moon. And he's showing no signs of wanting to don the DC cape again, at least for now.
"Who knows, maybe somewhere way down the line Gunn will turn to Snyder to direct one of his new DC films," but until that dream—or nightmare, depending on who you ask—comes true, the Snyderverse is officially shelved.
So, loyal fans of Zack Snyder's Justice League, maybe it's time we all turned the page, just as the creators have.
