Zack Snyder Thinks He's Done With Superhero Movies

Although Marvel is often, perhaps rightfully, granted dominance over the superhero movie boom of the last decade and a half, it’s arguably Zack Snyder who has, for better or worse, defined that trend more than any other singular figure. But, on the precipice of launching is own new universe, the director seems like he’s well and truly done with comic book heroes.

“We’ve been on the treadmill—it has not evolved. I don’t have the excitement for it that I used to have,” Snyder says of the superhero genre he’s leaving behind for sci-fi in Netflix’s Rebel Moon as part of a new profile at The Hollywood Reporter. Moon itself has almost been in the works as long as Snyder’s superheroic period—having grown from a short-lived Star Wars pitch, into a Game of Thrones-ian TV series, and now, into a duology of movies (and plenty more beyond the screen) at Netflix. While filming last year, Snyder would learn that Warner Bros. had found its next architects for DC moviemaking in Guardians of the Galaxy’s James Gunn, and producer Peter Safran.
