The DC comics have spawned so many great stories and characters, and some of them got the chance to be adapted on the big and small screen. Zack Snyder was among the first filmmakers to tackle several projects in the DC Extended Universe but, as his time with the studio was done, James Gunn will take over the characters in the upcoming DC Universe.

The conversation about whose universe was better is inevitable, as Snyder has a series of devoted fans set to praise him, while Gunn has yet to impress since he's at the beginning of his long journey. However, over the years, the two filmmakers have often praised each other's work. Now, Gunn has proven the two are close in real life, as well, with a photo on Threads that's going viral on social media.

Before filmmaker Zack Snyder delivered a two-parter entitled Rebel Moon for Netflix in December of last year, he had collaborated with the streamer on a project as far removed from outer space as possible. In 2021, Snyder developed and delivered a post-apocalyptic zombie movie, Army of the Dead, which served as a re-imagined sequel of sorts for the 2004 movie, Dawn of the Dead. A film boasting some notable faces, Army of the Dead became a streaming hit for Netflix, which ultimately translated to an animated sequel, Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas. Despite Snyder assuring us it is still in development, not much has been heard about the sequel since.

Zack Snyder's scrapped animated show, Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas, has received a status update from producer Jay Oliva. The franchise began in 2021 with Snyder's post-apocalyptic zombie movie Army of the Dead, which serves as a spiritual sequel to the director's 2004 reimagining of Dawn of the Dead. Army of the Dead featured an ensemble cast, including Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, and Tig Notaro. The movie was a streaming hit for Netflix, and the Lost Vegas prequel show was planned soon after. However, Snyder mentioned that the project had stalled for technical reasons, and there didn't seem to be any change regarding the show's status.

In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant's Zak Wojnar, at New York Comic Con, Oliva was asked about an update on the status of the series for which he was the showrunner. He revealed that mostly everything was completed before Netflix pulled the plug.

Ella Purnell is only 28 years old but her career in TV and films has featured many critically acclaimed projects. Two of her most recognizable roles are in the TV hits Fallout and Yellowjackets, and despite the gore and bloody scenes, Purnell questions her "scream queen" label.

The horror genre is experiencing a renaissance, with multiple films and shows celebrating critical and commercial success. Neither of her recent projects is characterized as horror, yet they blend several horror themes, including violence, gore, and fear. However, when speaking with The Guardian to promote her upcoming project, Purnell explained her aversion to anything scary.

Netflix Halts Zack Snyder’s ‘Army of the Dead’ Franchise After a Tough Year - Main Image

According to reports, Netflix has scrapped the planned anime series and the much-awaited expansion of the "Army of the Dead" franchise, both directed by Zack Synder.

In the first few weeks after its debut, "Army of the Dead," a popular action-horror movie on Netflix, attracted over 75 million viewers, ranking it as the ninth most-watched Netflix film ever.

Zack Synder reportedly intended to build a full-fledged universe for the series, and he had grand ambitions for the next movies.

Affected Projects Due to Army of the Dead Franchise Cancelation

The director's adaptation of Army of the Dead depicts a post-apocalyptic world overrun with zombies, whereas the original film, which was released in May 2021, under the same name, follows a gang of survivors as they plot a robbery at a Los Angeles casino. "Army of Thieves,...

Netflix canceled its Army of the Dead franchise plans, which might be for the best. Army of the Dead's runtime hurt the original, thanks to the unnecessary setup for sequels and prequels. Army of Thieves proved the original didn't require a franchise, lacking substance and being quickly forgotten.

It appears Netflix has canceled plans to make Army of the Dead a franchise, which only highlights a big problem with the original Zack Snyder film. The very first Zack Snyder movie was 2004's Dawn of the Dead, a remake of the George A. Romero zombie classic. There was a sense of the director coming full circle with 2021's Army of the Dead, where a team of mercenaries enters into a walled-off, zombie-infested Las Vegas to pull off a heist.

The film was Snyder's follow-up to the infamously troubled Justice League and saw the filmmaker unwinding and having some fun.

Netflix has quietly canceled all follow-ups to Army of the Dead, leaving Zack Snyder's most promising franchise in the dust. Army of the Dead was Snyder's best franchise, compared to his divisive Dceu and unsuccessful Rebel Moon. Now without a franchise, Snyder has the opportunity to pursue passion projects like The Fountainhead or a small-scale film.

Netflix has quietly canceled all development on follow-ups to Army of the Dead and now, the only Zack Snyder franchise with any promising potential is gone. Snyder is one of the most polarizing filmmakers working today, described as everything from a visionary to a hack. The people who like his films really, really like them especially the bloated, indulgent directors cuts but not everyone is charmed by his saturated colors, edgelord characters, and overuse of super slow-motion.

After Snyder parted ways with Warner Bros., Netflix was quick to partner up with him.

In a significant shift, Netflix has quietly shelved plans to expand Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead” franchise into a full-fledged cinematic universe, canceling both a anticipated sequel film and animated series spinoff.

The streaming giant had greenlit “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas” and “Planet of the Dead” to continue the story of Snyder’s zombie heist thriller, which attracted 75 million households in its first month after debuting in 2021. However, low viewership of the director’s recent Netflix epic “Rebel Moon” has reportedly caused the platform to halt building out the “Army of the Dead” universe.

“Army of the Dead” proved a massive hit for Netflix, with the prequel film “Army of Thieves” also performing well with 72 million viewing hours in its second weekend. But sources say Netflix has lost enthusiasm for Snyder’s ambitious plans after “Rebel Moon” parts 1 and 2 failed to break into the streamer’s Top 10 despite initially high viewing,...

A once fruitful creative relationship between Netflix and director Zack Snyder could possibly be on the rocks. Snyder delivered two big hits for the streamer with 2021's Army of the Dead and its prequel spinoff, Army of Thieves. This resulted in plans emerging for another sequel and an animated series to expand the universe. However, further news on these new projects has stalled lately, and it looks like the reason for that has now become clear - the Army of the Dead franchise is...well, dead.

According to a report from The Wrap, it would appear that Netflix has quietly shelved Snyder's entire Army of the Dead Universe. That means the planned animated series, Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas, and the live-action sequel, reportedly titled Planet of the Dead, look to be off the table. While the report doesn't go into details of why Snyder's zombie universe has been abandoned,...

Netflix quietly canceled Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead franchise, despite plans for expansion. The franchise was meant to include prequels, sequels, and a connection to Rebel Moon, Snyder's newest franchise. There may have been several reasons for Army of the Dead's cancelation, from Snyder's plans for Rebel Moon to Army of Thieves' lukewarm reception.

Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead franchise has been canceled by Netflix, despite plans for several new installments and a Rebel Moon connection. Zack Snyder's 2021 zombie apocalypse heist movie Army of the Dead was a fairly big hit. Army of the Dead had a star-studded cast, a popular director, and a novel combination of the zombie and heist movie genres. It had quite a few things going for it, and it seemed to have legs to become a long-running franchise, but those plans have recently been scrapped.

Army of the Dead was...

We have some bad news to report, horror fans. It looks like we won't be seeing any more new installments in the Army of the Dead franchise like we had been initially promised. All of the Army of the Dead future films and the animated series have been reportedly quietly canceled. More on this below.

Back in September 2020, months before Army of the Dead had even come out, Netflix had announced that it would be working with Zack Snyder again to make a prequel movie and an animated prequel series. Then, in July 2021, the streaming giant greenlit a direct sequel to Army of the Dead, a film that Snyder was said to start working on after making Rebel Moon.

While the prequel movie Army of Thieves did get made and come out in 2021, the animated series and the live-action sequel haven't. The animated series was officially titled Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas,...

For a while, Zack Snyder was building a cinematic universe for the Netflix streaming service that centered on his zombie movie Army of the Dead. The film was quickly followed by a prequel called Army of Thieves, a sequel called Planet of the Dead was being written, and an anime series called Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas was in the works. But Snyder has since shifted his focus over to building a multi-media universe around his Rebel Moon sci-fi movies – and The Wrap has revealed that Netflix “quietly canceled” plans for an Army of the Dead Universe.

In an article on the Rebel Moon films that features interviews with Snyder and his wife and producing partner Deborah Snyder, The Wrap mentions, “Army of the Dead, a movie the Snyders made for Netflix before Rebel Moon, had a similarly ambitious (universe/franchise) plan, with several sequels and spin-offs in the works,...

Seventeen years after remaking George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, Zack Snyder returned to the realm of zombie cinema with Netflix’s Army of the Dead in 2021, which was supposed to spawn a prequel movie, a live action sequel, and an animated series. To date, only the spinoff prequel – Army of Thieves – has seen the light of day… and that may remain the case.

A new report from The Wrap seems to indicate that Netflix has pulled the plug on the Army of the Dead Universe, with the sequel movie and the animated series being scrapped.

The planned animated series was titled “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas,” and last we heard, Snyder’s live action sequel to Army of the Dead was going to be titled Planet of the Dead.

Both projects, however, may have been buried six feet under.

The Wrap reports, “Army of the Dead…...

Netflix has reportedly cancelled Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead franchise, halting future projects that were originally aimed at expanding the series. Plans for the animated spinoff Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas and the movie spinoff Planet of the Dead have seemingly been scrapped. The zombie franchise's demise doesn't bode well for Rebel Moon's planned shared universe, which could suffer the same fate if not successful enough.

Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead franchise has been reportedly cancelled at Netflix, with seemingly no plans for the franchise to continue beyond the previously-released films. The post-apocalyptic series centers around the zombie apocalypse, with the original movie of the same name focusing on a group of survivors pulling off a heist in a Los Angeles casino. This initial film was released in May 2021, while a prequel, Army of Thieves, came out in October that same year. While Army of the Dead 2 hadn't been confirmed,...

Butler's career skyrocketed after 300, solidifying him as a leading action star in Hollywood with international acclaim. Inspired by 300's success, Butler continued in the action genre, starring in multiple box office hits throughout his career. Despite being typecasted as an action star, Butler's iconic performance as King Leonidas in 300 remains his greatest to date.

The classic action movie 300 transformed Gerard Butler's Hollywood career and just may be the peak of his extensive filmography. 300 was released in the United States on March 9, 2007, and became the tenth highest-grossing movie of that year, earning $456 million worldwide against a production budget of $60 million. The epic action film was only Zack Snyder's second feature directorial effort following his breakout 2004 horror film Dawn of the Dead. The success and cultural impact of 300 led Snyder to take on other massive blockbusters such as Watchmen (2009), Man of Steel (2013), and Justice League...

Zack Snyder‘s partnership with Netflix continues as the Rebel Moon director follows up his ode to Star Wars and Seven Samurai with a new anime from The Stone Quarry and Xilam Animation. Xilam Animation is responsible for such projects as Oggy and the Cockroaches, Zig & Sharko, and Chip ‘n’ Dale: Park Life for Disney+, all of which they’ve created and produced. Snyder’s new show, Twilight of the Gods, is an anime that he co-created that’s based on Norse mythology. Netflix has now released a first look at the new dark and violent limited series with previously unreleased images.

The synopsis from Netflix Tudum reads,

Zack Snyder is unarguably one of the biggest masterminds in the entertainment industry, having helmed masterpieces like the Snyder cut of the Justice League. Not only does he beat everyone’s expectations with his out-of-the-world storylines, but he also sometimes leaves behind clues in his universes, which end up connecting them irrespective of how different their storylines may be.

That being said, his Army of the Dead and Rebel Moon sagas were no exception to this fact. In fact, as it turns out through a new set of threads shared by a fan pointing out the similarities between the two universes, Snyder just may have left these clues behind for fans to figure out just how perfectly his AotD and Rm worlds collide and connect.

Zack Snyder made his name with his gruesome, much more action-y remake of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead in 2004. The director then tried to line up an even bigger sequel called Army of the Dead for years, but there were many detours along the way, including his eventual role as the chief architect of the early Dceu. He finally returned to his long-lost zombie sequel in 2021, this time as the launching point of a whole new cinematic universe for Netflix, which also included a crime thriller prequel called Army of Thieves and even an animated series about the initial outbreak in Las Vegas.

While Zack Snyder is busy bringing his Star Wars-inspired space opera, Rebel Moon, he's also set to return to his hit zombie franchise with Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas. The filmmaker's direct follow-up to Zack Snyder's Justice League, 2021's Army of the Dead was a smash hit for Netflix, finding a place in the streaming service's top ten most-watched original films only days after its initial release. Fans of Zack Snyder were also delighted to see the director return to his filmmaking roots and harken back to his feature debut of 2004's Dawn of the Dead. The unique setting of a war-torn zombie haven in Las Vegas also quickly planted the seeds for a growing mythology.

“Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb!” Zack Snyder lit the fuse of several fandoms while appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience after saying Batman is “irrelevant” if he can’t kill, and more people saw Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire on Netflix than Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar cinematic sensation, Barbie, in theaters. During his chin-wag with Rogan, Snyder expressed his gratitude for partnering with Netflix for several projects, including Army of the Dead, Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire, and upcoming features like Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas, Planet of the Dead, and Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver.

While preparing for the impending release of Rebel Moon, director Zack Snyder teased his exciting plans for the future of Netflix’s Army of the Dead franchise.

It has been over a year since the successful launch of Snyder’s zombie heist franchise, which began with the Dave Bautista-led Army of the Dead movie in May 2021, and was followed by Matthias Schweighöfer’s prequel film Army of Thieves in October 2021. Because of the positive fan response, Snyder started developing its sequel and an animated spinoff series. However, the Man of Steel director ultimately decided to pause development on his Army of the Dead projects in order to shift his focus on building a new sci-fi franchise after Netflix greenlit his long-time passion project Rebel Moon. Speaking with Games Radar+, Snyder finally opened up about his delayed Army of the Dead projects, assuring waiting fans that he’s still committed to expanding the zombie franchise.

Army of the Dead doesn't need a director's cut because Netflix was "cool" with Zack Snyder's vision and didn't ask for major changes. Despite not having a director's cut, Snyder was able to include all of his content in the original Army of the Dead film aside from one scene. Snyder is still expanding the universe of Army of the Dead with upcoming projects, including the film Rebel Moon and a potential sequel.

Zack Snyder says that there will never be a director’s cut of Army of the Dead. The creative mind behind both Man of Steel and Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the director is well-known for making extended cuts of his films. At the end of this year, Snyder will release Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire, which Snyder has already said will receive an R-rated director's cut along with its 2024 follow-up.

As reported by Collider,...

Director Zack Snyder is actively working on Rebel Moon 3, the second installment in the upcoming sci-fi franchise. Netflix sees Snyder as a major asset and is actively collaborating with him on expanding his Rebel Moon and Army of the Dead universes. Snyder has creative freedom with Netflix, allowing him to bring his personal and previously untold stories to life.

Director Zack Snyder has confirmed that a Rebel Moon 3 is currently in development. The upcoming Netflix movie is poised to launch a massive sci-fi franchise, with Snyder having previously teased in the past that a trilogy of sequels after the main installment could be in the works. The first Rebel Moon will be released in two parts, with the first part, A Child of Fire, releasing in December and the second part, The Scargiver, in April.

Zack Snyder confirms that Rebel Moon and Army of the Dead take place in the same universe, opening up the possibility for connected stories and crossovers. The shared continuity between Rebel Moon and Army of the Dead gives Snyder more creative freedom than he had with DC Comics characters like Batman and Aquaman. The parallel dimensions in Rebel Moon and Army of the Dead offer endless storytelling opportunities, potentially saving the Army of the Dead franchise and leading to a revival.

Zack Snyder has confirmed that Rebel Moon, his new Netflix franchise, takes place in the same world as Army of the Dead, establishing a huge, ambitious shared universe. Retooled from a Star Wars pitch that Lucasfilm rejected, Rebel Moon is an epic two-part space opera that brings the time-tested story of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai to a galaxy far, far away. Army of the Dead is an action-packed...

Zack Snyder's sci-fi film "Rebel Moon: Part One -- A Child of Fire" -- to cite its full title -- is due for release on December 15, 2023, and, like all of Snyder's films, promises to be visually complex and cinematically overblown. Snyder loves a certain kind of hazy photography as well as bold, brassy characters, usually living within an action-packed milieu that allows them to deliver profound-sounding platitudes in bedroom-voiced monologues while slashing people open in slow-motion. "Rebel Moon" will be a sci-fi riff on the "Seven Samurai" story, with a distant-future agrarian moon standing in for a beleaguered 16th-century Japanese village, and an encroaching Empire-like army standing in for Kurosawa's itinerant bandits. Sofia Boutella will play a character who travels the galaxy to gather up a ragtag group of failed warriors to protect her moon from almost-assured destruction.

Snyder's last film as a director was 2021's "Army of the Dead,...

Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon and Army of the Dead share the same universe, revealing a vast mythology that never made it into the movies. While Snyder is currently focused on Rebel Moon, there are plans for a Planet of the Dead movie. Snyder's energy is currently directed towards Rebel Moon, but the expanding universe of Army of the Dead offers the potential for future growth and exploration.

Zack Snyder may be building a much bigger franchise than his fans imagine with Rebel Moon and Army of the Dead, as the director reveals both cinematographic sagas share the same universe.

The fact that Snyder decided to leave behind the world of the great superhero franchises does not mean that he has moved away from creating big multiverses, and he keeps proving it. In 2021, the filmmaker released Army of the Dead, the first film in a major action saga created exclusively for Netflix.

For a while, Zack Snyder was building a cinematic universe for the Netflix streaming service that centered on his zombie movie Army of the Dead. The film was quickly followed by a prequel called Army of Thieves, a sequel was being written, and an anime series called Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas was in the works. But Snyder has since shifted his focus over to building a multi-media universe around his upcoming Netflix sci-fi film Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire (and its follow-up Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver). So Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas sits unfinished… and during an interview with Total Film magazine, Snyder revealed that Army of the Dead and Rebel Moon aren’t entirely separate. In fact, if Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas ever gets completed, we’ll be seeing a Rebel Moon crossover on the show!

Snyder told...

Zack Snyder's cancelled TV series Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas included a character from his upcoming film Rebel Moon, showing a shared universe. The inclusion of an Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas character in Rebel Moon is surprising, but it makes more sense considering the dimension-expanding elements in the animated show. While it is unclear how much screen time the character will have, it appears to be a small cameo in Rebel Moon, with the possibility of a larger role in future installments.

Zack Snyder’s cancelled TV series Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas included characters from Rebel Moon. A spinoff of his Army of the Dead films, Snyder intended to release a Netflix animated series Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas, but the show was never completed. Next up for Snyder is Rebel Moon, a science-fiction film that will air its first installment on Netflix...

It's looking like the animated series Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas has been scrapped at Netflix.

In a new interview with Total Film (via GamesRadar), Snyder spoke about Army of the Dead and how the film has a secret connection to his upcoming sci-fi adventure story Rebel Moon. He mentioned how a Rebel moon character was supposed to be in a planned animated series spinoff for Army of the Dead, referring to Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas. Snyder then shared how the animated series had made it pretty far into production, to the point where it could be watched in its "crazy animatic form," but it doesn't sound like it will see the light of day.

Gears of War Creator Thinks Zack Snyder Would Be a Great Choice to Direct Movie Adaptation

"Army of the Dead has a pretty vast mythology that never made it into the movie.

Zack Snyder’s 2021 zombie movie Army of the Dead was supposed to spawn an animated series titled “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas,” you may recall, but it’s been a while since we’ve heard a peep about that project. In a new interview with Total Film that went up today, Snyder suggests that the planned animated series is no longer moving forward at Netflix.

Additionally, Snyder tells Total Film that “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas” would’ve revealed that the franchise takes place in the same universe as Snyder’s upcoming Rebel Moon.

“Army of the Dead has a pretty vast mythology that never made it into the movie,” Snyder explains. “There’s actually a character from Rebel Moon in the Army of the Dead animated series that we never did.”

“At one point in the show, they go through a portal into another dimension, and there...

Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon franchise has the potential for significant growth, surpassing the expansion of his Army of the Dead series. Rebel Moon has already begun pushing into other media forms, including a tie-in video game that will expand the universe from the movies. The vast world of Rebel Moon, with its diverse characters, fantastical elements, and merchandising potential, presents numerous opportunities for spin-offs, tie-in books, comic books, toys, and more.

Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon franchise has a vast potential to grow in a way that his Army of the Dead series has not yet managed. Snyder's Rebel Moon is divided into two movies, titled Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire and Rebel Moon: Part Two - The Scargiver. The story centers on Kora (Sofia Boutella), a former soldier for the Mother World's vast army known as the Imperium. When the Imperium threatens to conquer the...

Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead franchise has captivated audiences with its intense narrative, character depth, and unique Snyder touch, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the sequel, Planet of the Dead. Snyder, however, faces challenges in navigating between the zombie universe and his new sci-fi project, Rebel Moon, but hints at an interconnected yet distinct narrative structure for future films. In addition to the sequel, fans can look forward to the anime project, Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas, which delves into the origin of the zombie apocalypse and serves as a precursor to the live-action sequel, promising an increased scale of the movie.

Sequels and franchises aren't novelties in the entertainment industry. Yet, when a mastermind like Zack Snyder hints at a tantalizingly "twisted" continuation to one of Netflix's hottest titles, ears perk up, and fans sit at the edge of their seats.

For those unfamiliar, Army of the Dead,...

Army of the Dead director Zack Snyder shared a new update about his highly-anticipated sequel to Netflix’s 2021’s zombie heist movie.

Last March 23, it was officially confirmed that development on the Army of the Dead sequel has been put on hold until he completes work on his upcoming sci-fi epic Rebel Moon movies. Now, Snyder has finally opened up about the delayed project titled Planet of the Dead, teasing that the zombie franchise will get "pretty twisted as it goes up." Speaking with Screen Rant, the Man of Steel filmmaker was asked what it was like for him to go back-and-forth between two Netflix franchises, especially when they’re completely different in terms of tone and vibe.

Zack Snyder teases the "twisted" nature of the future Army of the Dead franchise. Snyder plans to continue expanding his zombie-action universe, with a sequel to Army of Thieves and an animated series called Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas. The first film included Easter egg-level details that set up possibilities for future movies, leaving audiences guessing about the meaning behind these hints and which ones will be paid off.

A few years ago, Zack Snyder started building the Army of the Dead franchise at the Netflix streaming service. His zombie movie Army of the Dead was quickly followed by a prequel called Army of Thieves. An animated series called Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas was in the works, and Snyder himself was expected to direct the Army of the Dead sequel Planet of the Dead. He was developing the Planet of the Dead script with Shay Hatten, who co-wrote the first film with him… But we haven’t heard anything more about that project in a while, because Snyder has shifted his focus to building another franchise at Netflix.

Rebel Moon star Corey Stoll has nothing but praise for filmmaker Zack Snyder, suggesting that he is an "actor’s director". Scheduled to be released by Netflix in December this year, the story behind Snyder’s Rebel Moon originally began as an idea for a Star Wars film that he once pitched to Lucasfilm. Once intended to be a single movie, Snyder’s expansive concept for the property inevitably led to it being split into two films.

Most recently Stoll, who also appeared in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, spoke with Collider about his work on Snyder’s upcoming sci-fi epic. Suggesting that both the film’s cast and crew “would go to the ends of the earth for him”, he was full of praise for the director’s work ethic, enthusiasm, and approachability. This latest testimonial comes on the heels of similar comments made by Stoll’s fellow Rebel Moon co-star Cleopatra Coleman.

Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista teases his new movie project The Cooler from the co-writer of Iron Man 3. Bautista became a star as a professional wrestler, then became a movie star thanks to his dryly funny performance as Drax the Destroyer in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy and later MCU films. But Bautista has made it clear that he’s glad to be wrapping up his time as Drax, and no longer wants to be typecast as the big, dumb, weird guy who says strange things.

It’s likely that Bautista never will fully shake off being associated with Drax the Destroyer, but it won’t be for lack of trying. In his ongoing effort to line up projects that challenge him as an actor, and help him shed the Drax image, Bautista just teased an intriguing new project that re-teams him with Hotel Artemis helmer Drew Pearce.
