Is the space opera filmRebel Moon‘ connected to the zombie apocalypse movie, ‘Army of the Dead‘? Talking to ‘Comicbook.com’, Zack Snyder said that he directly tied together the aliens of Rebel Moon and the zombie plague in ‘Army of the Dead’ with an Easter egg. He said, “Rebel Moon and Army of the Dead definitely can exist in the same universe. I think I’ve said that, but there’s a character in movie one when they go into.”
He said further, “I don’t know if I’ve talked about this when they go into the bar, and there’s a Xanadite. The Xanadite is that blue girl with glowing markings on her. She is directly from the Army animated series that we never finished.”
Zombie plague
Snyder added, “Where they go, where the zombie plague comes from, is a planet they call Xanadu. The scientists call it Xanadu because they are big fans of Olivia Newton-John, so they go to Xanadu and the Xanadites, basically where the zombie plague (in Army of the Dead) comes from, she’s one of them.”
Snyder to launch a multimedia franchise
The space opera film series began with ‘Part One: A Child of Fire’ on Netflix in 2023. Buoyed by its success, Snyder plans to launch a multimedia franchise that includes prequels, comic books, a narrative podcast, multiple and sequels.
He said that he has been working to create a shared Netflix universe between his space opera film, ‘Rebel Moon’, and his zombie apocalypse movie, ‘Army of the Dead.’
