Supporters of Zack Snyder have reignited their campaign as reports surface that Netflix could acquire Warner Bros. Pictures, fueling hopes for a return to the Zack Snyder Netflix SnyderVerse. Online communities are abuzz, with hashtags trending on social media as fans anticipate a potential revival of their favorite director’s DC universe films.
Renewed Enthusiasm Among SnyderVerse Supporters
After Netflix reportedly became the frontrunner to purchase Warner Bros. Pictures, passionate fans immediately took to X (formerly Twitter), anticipating that the streamer might work with Zack Snyder on new DCEU projects. Chants of #restorethesnyderverse and #SellSnyderVerseToNetflix flooded timelines, with expectations that this move could reopen the door for more Snyder-led DC films.
One devotee celebrated the news, sharing,
Send to, everyone. We f*cking did it. #SellZSJLtoNetflix #SellSnyderVerseToNetflix.
— X user, Snyder fan. Others referenced past comments by DC Studios co-chief and Superman director James Gunn, bringing his earlier skepticism into question amid newfound optimism. Echoing the sentiment, another fan asserted,
Yes @netflix was in fact VERY interested. #SellZSJLtoNetflix #SellSnyderVerseToNetflix
— Excited fan.
Uncertainties Surround the Potential for Revival
Despite this surge of hope, it remains uncertain whether Netflix would relaunch the SnyderVerse, even if its acquisition of Warner Bros. Pictures goes through. Currently, DC Studios headed by James Gunn and Peter Safran is progressing with a rebooted universe, including forthcoming titles such as a Superman sequel, a Supergirl feature, and a Clayface film, all scheduled for release soon. These new projects underscore DC’s commitment to its revised cinematic direction.
Additionally, Netflix’s own track record with Zack Snyder projects offers little assurance. Past collaborations between the director and the platform have faced challenges, with some initiatives being canceled. Reviving the SnyderVerse would require not only substantial investment but also the return of original stars like Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck, both of whom are engaged in various current projects.
Persistent Hopes and Vocal Online Campaigns
Refusing to be deterred by obstacles, Snyder fans maintain a fervent push for a comeback. One user expressed their determination, writing,

The Legacy and Divisive History of the SnyderVerse
The SnyderVerse began in 2013 with “Man of Steel,” starring Henry Cavill as Superman. While this installment received relatively mixed yet less polarizing reviews—scoring 57% from critics and 75% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes—it quickly set the tone for a franchise marked by division. Subsequent releases like 2016’s
“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”
and other entries, including “Wonder Woman,” “Aquaman,” and Snyder’s director’s cut of “Justice League,” enjoyed varying receptions but collectively struggled with critical and box office challenges. The DCEU’s run concluded with “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” in 2023, continuing the trend of disparate reactions, scoring only 33% from critics and 79% from audiences.
Main Cast from Zack Snyder’s Justice League
Prominent figures associated with the original SnyderVerse include Ben Affleck in the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne and Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent. Their potential involvement is often central to fan discussions about possible future projects.
As Netflix’s potential acquisition of Warner Bros. Pictures unfolds, attention will remain focused on whether hopes for a SnyderVerse revival translate from social media campaigns to concrete cinematic plans, especially with Zack Snyder, Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, and others at the center of fan desires. For now, debate over the fate of the SnyderVerse continues to energize and divide DC’s global fanbase.
