At the helm of the biggest superhero competition alongside Marvel, Zack Snyder was responsible for the most iconic DC films of the last 10 years. The director didn’t just give Superman a dark, grounded update with Man of Steel. The highlight of his DC work is the Snyder Cut of Justice League, which was completed and submitted later.
The Hollywood Reporter has now published a major new profile about Snyder, which prepares the mood for his upcoming sci-fi blockbuster Rebel Moon Part 1: Child of Fire on Netflix. It also reveals that Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan Watchmen loves.
Nolan would have liked to see Watchmen released after the first Avengers film
In an email to The Hollywood Reporter, Nolan wrote about Snyder’s subversive superhero masterpiece Watchmen:
I’ve always believed that Watchmen was ahead of its time. The idea of a superhero team, they subverted in such a brilliant way didn’t exist in films yet. It would have been fascinating to see it released after Avengers. Watchmen actually works like the dark alternative to the bright popcorn spectacle, which Joss Whedon made with the first Avengers film. Snyder’s adaptation of the Alan Moore original shows superheroes as broken, defeated and morally reprehensible anti-heroes. When is the new Zack Snyder blockbuster coming to Netflix?
With the Rebel Moon two-parter, the director realized his personal vision of a Star Wars-like adventure in space. The first Rebel Moon film arrives on December 22, 2023 to the Netflix subscription. Part 2 will follow on April 19, 2024.
