Though we've yet to see so much as a teaser trailer for Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead (it's said to be coming early 2021), production has now wrapped on the prequel film that's also expected to premiere on Netflix at some point next year.

The Justice League director took to Twitter to announce that work has been completed on the zombie horror flick, which appears to be officially titled Army of the Dead: The Prequel. Snyder also shared a new look at the main characters played by Nathalie Emmanuel, Stuart Martin, Guz Khan, Ruby O'Fee and Matthias Schweighöfer, who also directed the movie.

Plot details are few and far between, but the prequel is expected to focus on several of the characters we'll meet in Army of the Dead pre zombie apocalypse.

Army of the Dead marks Snyder's return to the genre after his well-received remake of George Romero's classic Dawn of the Dead. There's been some speculation that AOTD could be a direct sequel, since Snyder has previously referred to it as a "spiritual successor" to his 2006 film.

There is also an Army of the Dead anime in the works that'll focus on Dave Bautista's character.

@BlackBeltJones -

Man strange to see him going from a School Teacher, Comedian, Youtuber, to having his own TV show and now movies.
Must have been great to have him teach you as a kid and now he's starting in movies. Glad for him

She kinda looks like she's holding one in in that picture to be honest.

Ruby O Free was my favorite part of Polar. Hopefully this helps springboard her career.

@inkniron - Ruby O. Fee is the girlfriend of Matthias Schweighöfer... the director of the prequel... this is the reason why she got the job

she was great in Polar and she's damn hot

BREAKING NEWS: Ray Fischer reports that Josh Whedon didn't invite him to a crew brunch one day. Ray reports that he felt that he brought on emotional baggage from some bad guacamole from the night before and targeted Ray specifically for it by not inviting him to the crew brunch. Story developing.

If a prequel is released before the main movie, is it still a prequel then? Wouldn't that make "Army of the Dead" a technical sequel? As both release and timeline wise they follow each other? This is a rhetorical question of course.

Now, I'm excited to see what Snyder has cooked up but I'll remain sceptical. He hasn't proven to be the best storyteller in the past but this movie seems more tailored to his sensibilities than the DC Universe.

Also Matthias Schweighöfer is known to be a dick to his team. Apparently he once noted that extras were "dirt under his fingernails". So I'm really cautious here

Who directed the prequel?

@Unreal2k9 - Matthias Schweighöfer, horrible actor/director/writer, he directed,wrote and produced a lot of romatic comedy and drama comedy movies, all horrible, but he is very successful with this movies in germany (like Til Schweiger), teenagers love his movies
