They penned: ‘This is really sad to me. I loved Army of the Dead and Army of Thieves and wanted more. Now with Netflix is almost done with Stranger Things, there isn’t much left for me on there.’

‘Looks like we will not be getting anything more from the Army Of The Dead franchise from Zack Snyder.’

‘Thank you #Netflix for giving us Snyder movies but if there are no sequels to #ArmyoftheDead or #RebelMoon there is no more subscription.’

‘This sucks cause Zack doesn’t deserve this hate.’

‘Army of the Dead was f**king awesome though!’

Zack confirmed the sad news while discussing the director’s cut release of another project, Rebel Moon Part 1 and 2, with talk soon turning to Army Of The Dead.

The director then confirmed the sequel and spin-off would no longer be taking place but added that fans would still be able to enjoy an Army of the Dead theme park experience. 

He shared: ‘We are very ambitious with everything. And Army of the Dead isn’t entirely dead.
