Netflix‘s next Summer blockbuster in line to compete with other streamers, like HBO Max and Zack Snyder’s Justice League, is non other than a project helmed by Snyder himself.

Army of the Dead concluded production this year. It was directed, written, and produced by Snyder. He also served as the cinematographer.
According to an exclusive by Bloody Disgusting, Netflix will be releasing the film in the Summer of 2021. The publishing company, Titan Books, confirmed that they will be releasing an official illustrated book, Army of the Dead: The Making of the Film, to accompany the release of the movie. Titan Books will officially publish the book in hardback on June 1, 2021. Written by Peter Aperlo, the book will serve as a behind-the-scenes look at locations, characters, and zombies.
