Netflix can save SnyderVerse: Zack Snyder is ready to return if Netflix buys back the rights to the DCEU characters

Director Zack Snyder has stated that he would definitely revive his SnyderVerse if Netflix acquired the rights to the DCEU characters that exist in Snyder's universe.

Here's What We Know

After taking over the reigns of the DCEU from James Gunn and Peter Safran, who are now working on a complete reimagining of the universe, SnyderVerse has faded into oblivion. And even despite Zack Snyder fans who enjoyed his version of the DC characters, there is no new life for the DCEU.

Unless...Netflix helps. If the streaming service ever gets the rights to the material and characters, Snyder will definitely be back to continue his vision of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) on that platform.

Snyder stated in an interview published in X:

"If Netflix owned the rights to my... to the DC characters in my universe, of course I would [return]. Absolutely.".

SnyderVerse, covering the DCEU, followed the Dark Knight Trilogy (2005-2012), directed by Christopher Nolan, in 2013 with Man of Steel.

Neither "Man of Steel" nor "Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice" were able to replicate the box office success of "The Dark Knight" (2008) and "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012) that Nolan's films achieved.

However, it is worth noting that both of Zack Snyder's films surpassed the box office success of each of the MCU superhero films that preceded "The Avengers" (2012), although many superhero fans don't remember or perhaps don't want to admit it.

There was definitely audience interest in DC films within the SnyderVerse, even with "Suicide Squad" ($749 million), which came after the release of "Batman v Superman" ($874 million) in the same summer season.

Then, there was the $824 million success of "Wonder Woman" with Gal Gadot.

Things didn't go so smoothly from there. The attempt to unite DC's heroes (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Flash and Aquaman) failed to even surpass the $100 million mark in the U.S. in its first weekend in theatres, and "Justice League" (2017) only started at $93.8 million, which is still better than any of the MCU's solo efforts.

Let's wait to see what Netflix has to say about the idea of reviving SnyderVerse.
