A Hopeful Message from Snyder
At the recent SnyderCon, Zack Snyder left fans in a frenzy when he wrote a hopeful message on a Darkseid poster. This wasn’t just a casual scribble; the entire incident was captured on video, dispelling any rumours that the event was Snyder’s farewell to DC. On the contrary, it hinted at a new beginning. Snyder even expressed his support for the #SellZSJLToNetflix movement, suggesting a possible licensing of the SnyderVerse to a third party.

Gunn’s Focus on His Franchise
While Zack Snyder has been vocal about his vision for the DC universe, Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, has been concentrating on his franchise reboot. However, this hasn’t stopped him from acknowledging the immense efforts Snyder has put into the DC mythology.
Earlier this year, Gunn addressed a tweet from a user who shared the trending “Sell the SnyderVerse to Netflix” hashtag (via The Direct). He clarified not only that the streaming platform hasn’t indicated any desire for such a purchase, but also mentioned that Snyder “hasn’t expressed any interest” in it:
It’s quite the peculiar hashtag because 1) Netflix hasn’t shown any inclination towards this (though we’ve touched upon other topics) & 2) Zack hasn’t shown any inclination either and appears content with his current projects (yes, we’ve had our discussions too).
Gunn further shared that Snyder “reached out to [him] to convey his backing” for the DCU reboot direction. He also highlighted that the director seemed “really happy” with his ongoing efforts in shaping the Rebel Moon universe on Netflix:
He reached out to show his endorsement for the decisions I’ve made. He’s truly a stand-up individual. Once more, he appears genuinely content with the expansive universe creation he’s currently involved in.

Snyder’s Support and the Fanbase
The #SellZSJLToNetflix campaign, initiated by YouTube personality Skiiwalker Tha Jedi, has gained significant traction, with over a million tweets and counting. During the SnyderCon, when Skii asked Snyder to autograph a poster of Ray Porter’s Darkseid and add the hashtag, Snyder responded with a grin and a message that read: “#SnyderVerse sell it!” (via Geekosity). This gesture further solidified Snyder’s support for the movement and his desire to see his vision for the DC universe come to fruition.

Bring back Zack plssss
Ugh his movies are trash. Non of zacks movies that he made and directed never made a billion in the box office, and the merch barely made any profit.
Zach bought the best live action version of any super hero genre to the screen. It wasn’t just a comic his films were works of art, visionary, bringing deep screen writing ideas, wardrobe and special effects. When you take his journey you become emotionally involved and reflective. I don’t want more canned laughter James Gunn type adaptions, please leave that for Marvel. Just look at the quality of story telling between man of steel and peacemaker. Oh my, I want a grown up DC universe made by Zach and I want the journey to continue as we have never had a live action super man or justice league with super villains such as Darkseid.
