Zack Snyder on New DC: 'Too Close To It'
19 Sep
Summary
- Snyder hasn't seen new DC films, feeling too close to the material.
- He praised James Gunn's singular storytelling and poignant work.
- Snyder has moved on to projects like 'Army of the Dead' and 'Rebel Moon'.
Zack Snyder confirmed he has not seen recent DC Universe installments, such as 'Superman,' which stars David Corenswet, or other upcoming features like 'Supergirl' and 'Lanterns.' Snyder explained in a recent interview that he feels too close to the DC universe to engage with its new direction.
He holds respect for James Gunn, the current architect of the DC franchise, praising his unique storytelling abilities and the poignant, funny nature of his work. Snyder previously helmed DC projects starting with 'Man of Steel' in 2010.
Following personal tragedy during the production of 'Justice League,' Snyder departed the project, which was then completed by Joss Whedon. His four-hour cut, 'Zack Snyder's Justice League,' was released in 2021.
Snyder has since moved on to direct other films, including 'Army of the Dead,' the 'Rebel Moon' series, and his latest premiere, 'The Last Photograph.' Upcoming DC projects include a horror-focused 'Clayface' and 'Superman: Man of Tomorrow.'
