Zack Snyder teases an Army of the Dead character might still be alive
This character might have sāurvived Army of the ź¦Dead

澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Zack Snyder has hinted that a certain character might have survived the gory events of 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Army of the Dead. Major spoilers ahead!
While hardly anyone made it out of the movie alive, there's one character in particular who could have escaped the catastrophe. Dieter, played by Matthias Schweighöfer, was pulled away by Alpha zombie Zeus while closing the safe, and we don't see him again afterwards. But Snyder has teased that he might just have survived.
, adding: "You would say in a horror movie if we don't see you die, by the rules of horror..."Though that's not exactly confirmation thaš t Dieter lived, it at least offers a teeny bit of hope – the movie did show that Alpha zombie Zeus sometimes left people alive for a while after capturing them.
Only two other characters had an offscreen death. Lilly (Nora Arnezeder) was impaled by Zeus, but the film cut away before we saw what happened to her. Considering Zeus was right there, and she'd just killed what was left of his queen, we can assume Lilly wasn't lucky eš¤”nough to escape. Huma Qureshi's Geeta also wasn't kilšled onscreen, but as she doesn't surface from the helicopter wreckage after the crash, it's probably safe to say she didn't survive either.
Only Ella Purnell's Kate Ward made it out of Las Vegas relatively unscathed – though Omari Hardwick's Vanderohe survived the zombie carnage and a nuclear bomb by sheltering in theš safe, the last moments of the film š½revealed a bite on his arm.
Whether Dieter did survive the undead hordes and the nuclear blast or was killed offscreen remains to be seen, maybe in a potential 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Army of the Dead 2. But, there isź¦ a prequel focusing on him arriving to Netflix this year, titled Army of Thieves – which Schwešighöfer both stars in and directs.
