He’s incredibly persistent, truly relentless. His knack for subtly pushing his vision for the ‘Snyderverse’ and maintaining fan enthusiasm is remarkable – it’s something researchers should really take a look at.
The director previously in charge of DC films often posts pictures on Instagram of his versions of characters like Superman (Henry Cavill) and Batman (Ben Affleck). He does this to keep his vision for those films – often called the ‘Snyderverse’ – in the public eye, especially now that James Gunn and Peter Safran are leading DC Studios and following recent changes at Netflix and Warner Bros.
Continuing this pattern, on December 7th, Snyder shared another image of Cavill as Superman, celebrating a milestone on social media. The post’s caption, consistent with his playfully indirect approach, also hinted at further developments for his devoted fans, seemingly reaffirming his commitment to the ‘Snyderverse’.
Snyder is smooth, give him that much.
I’m so excited to hit 500,000 followers on Instagram in just over two months! Thank you all so much for joining me on this creative journey. I really pour my heart and soul into developing these characters, treating them like figures from modern myths, and it means everything to see that connect with so many of you. I can’t wait to share more stories with you all!
Did you catch the final line of that statement? It was a pointed jab aimed at Netflix executives. Those familiar with Zack Snyder‘s history with Warner Bros. will remember this isn’t the first time he’s actively pushed for his vision. He previously rallied fans of the DC Extended Universe, creating a massive wave of support that pressured Warner Bros. into releasing Zack Snyder’s Justice League in 2021 – a director’s cut that came four years after the original film’s disappointing theatrical run.
Netflix and James Gunn Are Shaking Hands
Some DC fans are still pushing for Zack Snyder’s original vision for the DC Universe – often called the Snyderverse – to be finished. They’re even hoping Netflix might pick it up, potentially at the expense of the new creative team led by James Gunn and Peter Safran. This new DC Universe officially begins with the upcoming Superman movie starring David Corenswet in 2025, and will continue with projects like Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Lanterns, and Clayface in 2026. Separate from this main universe, there’s also the ‘Elseworlds’ branch, which includes Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II in 2027 and a second season of The Penguin series on HBO Max, though that series doesn’t have a confirmed release date yet.
Despite Netflix acquiring the rights, nothing will change immediately. Netflix has confirmed that current projects will continue as planned. This likely means Zack Snyder will only be able to offer small updates and hope Netflix eventually decides to pursue a larger project based on his work, but a major shift seems unlikely.
