澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder has talked about the n🙈ew DCU – ꩵand he could be tempted back with one project in particular. 

Snyder previously helmed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Man of Steel, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Snyder Cut of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Justice League in the DCEU, AKA the SnyderVerse. The last release from the old guard will be Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, arriving later this year, while Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran's new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters kicks off in 2024 with Creature Commandos. 

. "I told him I wanted it to work."

But, Snyder also revealed the project he would think about returning to DC to direct – an adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns that is a "true representation of the graph𓄧ic novel."

The Dark Knight Returns, penned by Frank Miller with art from Miller and Klaus🍎 Janson, sees a much older version of Bruce Wayne come out of retirement and, among other things, fight Superman. If that sounds familiar, it's because it shares a lot of DNA with Snyder's Dawn of Justice – in fact, one shot in the movie even recreates the iconic Dark Knight Returns cover.  

For now, though, Snyder has his hands full over at Netflix with Rebel Moon. The epic sci-fi tale is coming in two parts, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:extended director's cuts to follow. Plus, the future looks very bright, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Snyder recently opening up to our sister publication 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine about the road ahead. 

Rebel Moon Part 1 arrives on Netflix this December 22, with a limited theatrical release from December 15. In the meantime, check out our guide to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Netflix movies to stream now.
