If there’s anything that fans of Zack Snyder movies know how to do, it’s start massive social media campaigns.
We all remember #ReleaseTheSnyderCut, the hashtag which eventually led to the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Well, as Screen Rant reports, the era of #SellTheSnyderverseToNetflix has now begun, which is far less catchy, if you ask me. However, it’s for a good cause.
Fun fact, Zack Snyder has confirmed that he’d love to make a game. Check out our interview with him below.
In short, this new campaign aims to get Netflix to take over the distribution of the Snyderverse, giving Snyder the opportunity to finish off what he started outside of the confines of the DCU. Given the recent reshaping that has taken place, with a new actor replacing Henry Cavill as Superman in the DCU’s early stages, and some projects being cancelled, it’s understandable why fans would think that this could be a good move.
However, DC Studios CEO James Gunn has now responded to the demand, and has called it the “wackiest hashtag ever”. On Twitter, he wrote: “I have to say, this has got to be the wackiest hashtag ever since one - Netflix hasn’t expressed any such interest (although we’ve discussed other stuff) and two - Zack hasn’t expressed any interest and seems to be happy doing what he’s doing (and, yes, we too have talked).”
When asked what he and Snyder have talked about, Gunn added: “He contacted me to express his support about my choices. He’s a great guy. Again, he seems really happy with the massive world building he’s doing now.”

Clearly, at the time of writing, the campaign hasn’t reached Netflix’s ears - or if it has, the streaming giant just isn’t interested. Again though, Snyder fans are known for their persistence, so they might make some headway yet. We’ll just have to wait and see.
