Army of the Dead arrived on Netflix today, and we're sure you guys will have plenty to say about Zack Snyder's latest movie. While the streaming service is already working on a live-action prequel movie and anime series, the stage is definitely set for a sequel by the time all is said and done.
When the heist in the zombie-infested Las Vegas starts going wrong, we see Vanderohe (Omari Hardwick) and Ludwig Dieter (Matthias Schweighöfer) surrounded by Zeus and his followers. Dieter sacrifices himself to lock Vanderohe in the safe (which saves him from being eaten) and shortly after the nuclear bomb goes off, he emerges from the wreckage unscathed.
Now, we're not entirely sure how he didn't immediately drop dead from radiation poisoning, but it initially looks like Vanderohe might get a happy ending. He has a giant bag of cash, buys himself a private jet, and heads down to Mexico with a couple of beautiful airline stewardesses.
It's all too good to be true, though, and after rushing to the bathroom, he discovers that he's been bitten. As he clashed with Zeus, it's likely that Alpha Zombie the saw wielding badass was infected by. Because of that, Vanderohe is probably going to become an Aplha, and Mexico...well, it's not looking good for them! In a sequel, there will be a lot of interesting ideas Snyder could explore that tie into the real world...like America erecting a wall between the two countries!
The filmmaker never explains the inclusion of robot zombies in Army of the Dead or that weird theory about the characters being stuck in a time loop, and Netflix has yet to officially announce sequel plans.
In our review of the movie, we concluded by saying "Zack Snyder makes zombies cool again in Army of the Dead, but falls into bad habits along the way. Dave Bautista, however, steals the show, and the movie is fun, dumb, and wacky enough to make this a franchise we hope to sink our teeth into again."
