The new trailer for Army of the Dead has finally been revealed, and it sheds a lot more light on what we can expect from Zack Snyder's return to the zombie genre after he's spent the past decade or so in the DC Extended Universe.
It seems the world has managed to confine the undead to certain cities, including Las Vegas, but something weird has clearly happened during the time they've spent locked up.
As the sneak peek reveals, these zombies seem to have gained a level of sentience that will make this crew's mission to steal a fortune buried beneath Sin City considerably more challenging.
"Army of the Dead takes place following a zombie outbreak that has left Las Vegas in ruins and walled off from the rest of the world," reads the movie's synopsis. "When Scott Ward, a displaced Vegas local, former zombie war hero who’s now flipping burgers on the outskirts of the town he now calls home, is approached by casino boss Bly Tanaka, it’s with the ultimate proposition:
Break into the zombie-infested quarantine zone to retrieve $200 million sitting in a vault beneath the strip before the city is nuked by the government in 32 hours. Driven by the hope that the payoff could help pave the way to a reconciliation with his estranged daughter Kate, Ward takes on the challenge, assembling a ragtag team of experts for the heist. With a ticking clock, a notoriously impenetrable vault, and a smarter, faster horde of Alpha zombies closing in, only one thing’s for certain in the greatest heist ever attempted: survivors take all."
The cast includes Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Ana De La Reguera, Theo Rossi, Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Garret Dillahunt, Tig Notaro, Raúl Castillo, Huma S. Qureshi, Samantha Win, Richard Cetrone, and Michael Cassidy.
Army of the Dead is set to be released on Netflix and select U.S. theaters on May 21st, 2021.
