First images of the prequel to ‘Army of the Dead’

Army of the dead premiered more than a month ago on Netflix. It was the expected return to the zombie genre that saw the birth of one of the directors who maintains, to this day, one of the largest fan bases in memory. Yes, we are talking about the director of The Justice League, Zack Snyder. Critics were somewhat divided and the results at the audience level were not as bulky as the company expected, but even with everything Snyder managed to create a universe that will have sequels, prequels and even an animated series. The commitment and faith that the company has with the director is such that both already plan together Rebel Moon, a science fiction story with influences from Star Wars and Akira Kurosawa. While we wait for the last of the filmmaker, Netflix has wanted to share the first images of the prequel to Army of the dead.

The protagonist and director of the film who plays Dieter will not be alone in this story, as the star of Fast and Furious and of Game of Thrones, Nathalie Emmanuel He will co-star in the film alongside Matthias Schweighöfer. The German is not exactly making his debut in directing, since in his native country he has directed up to four feature films, which will make the prequel to Army of the Dead his fifth film. The production is titled Army of thieves (Army of Thieves) and He will follow in Dieter’s footsteps before becoming the safe-opening expert recruited by Batista.

In the images we can see some of the impressive safes that the protagonist will have to open. Its brief official synopsis confirms it: “A mysterious woman recruits the bank teller Dieter to help in a robbery of safes impossible to open throughout Europe”. It will presumably be a heist rom-com, but far from being a copy of what Snyder does, Schweighöfer said the director gave him some great advice when he went into production: “Dream big. Create your universe, your best version. And just make your movie. This is your movie “. Production is already 100% complete, but we are waiting for Netflix to set the premiere date on which the new Zack Snyder universe will begin to expand.
