    Zack Snyder’s DCEU was cut short by Warner Bros. Discovery when they decided to remove him from the franchise. And while there were additional films and television shows released that were set in the same continuity, Zack Snyder was given one last opportunity with his very own cut of Justice League. Since then, however, Warner Bros. has become even more removed from the SnyderVerse – especially with plans to release their own DC Universe. Nevertheless, Zack Snyder is adamant that he’d return to his version of the DCEU if Netflix were to acquire the rights.

    Zack Snyder has become very comfortable with Netflix. After all, not only did his zombie epic Army of the Dead premiere there, but so did a number of spin-offs and his upcoming sci-fi epic Rebel Moon and its sequels. It seems as though Snyder and Netflix get along quite well, and many fans have suggested that Netflix somehow acquire the rights to Snyder’s DCEU so that he could continue the story.

    Of course, rights are a complicated thing, and it’s unknown if Warner Bros. Discovery would ever want a competitor to have access to their catalog of DC characters. Especially at a time when they plan on launching the DC Universe, a new continuity separate from what Snyder helped create.

    In any case, Snyder still seems open for the challenge. This will no doubt excite fans that felt as though he had fully moved on from the superhero franchise. And while the decision might still be out of his hands, he still seems eager to come back.

    As shared below, he was interviewed by @CulturaOcio. A video below uploaded to X reveals Snyder as he’s asked whether or not he’d return to the franchise. He previously said he’d only come back for an adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns, but now it seems he’s even more open depending on what Netflix has the rights to.

    “If Netflix had owned the rights to the DC characters in my extended universe,” he answers, “of course, absolutely. Yeah. No question.”

    Of course, it’s still unclear if Netflix would ever be able to acquire such rights to allow Zack Snyder to continue his vision for the DCEU. But it would certainly make many fans happy if it ever worked out. In the meantime, we can still enjoy his original projects for Netflix like Rebel Moon.
