There’s a bit of a rivalry brewing among fans of Zack Snyder’s old DC movies (often called the ‘Snyderverse’) and the new DC Universe being built by James Gunn. However, Zack Snyder recently pointed out that before they were directing superhero films, both of them worked together on zombie movies, reminding everyone of their shared history.
Zack Snyder made his directorial debut as a feature film director over 20 years ago on the remake of George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead. Snyder recently shared some (slightly gross) images from the set of the film, which was written by James Gunn, to Instagram. Fans are really appreciating both the men and the movie, with comments that include…
- I love how they are friends while fandoms are fighting over on twitter lol – michaelvincabardo
- Dawn of the Dead The Best Zombie Movie Of Alltime ❤️🔥🙌 – zacksnyderfans
- Can we get a new Snyder Directed + Gunn written movie in the DCU 🙏🏽 @jamesgunn – lightskinbaka
- You two need to work together again. Seriously!! Doesn’t have to be DC. – lionrises_media

Fans have noticed a bit of a rivalry brewing between James Gunn and Zack Snyder. Some are still disappointed that Zack Snyder is no longer leading DC films and have expressed their support for a return to his vision, while others are critical of Gunn. However, most of the reactions are positive, with fans showing appreciation for both directors and the film they collaborated on.
What’s really grabbing people’s attention is the hope that James Gunn and Zack Snyder will collaborate on a film again. Many fans would be thrilled to see Snyder direct a script written by Gunn, or even direct a new DC movie within Gunn’s revamped DC Universe. Given how surprised people are to learn they’ve worked together before, a future project would be a huge and welcome surprise.
Zack Snyder described making Dawn of the Dead as an enjoyable experience. James Gunn agreed, sharing a similar sentiment in a comment of his own.
Amazing times. 🙌
Although it seems highly unlikely they’ll collaborate again, their past work together was truly exceptional. It’s clear the filmmakers shared a similar vision, as they ended up pursuing comparable paths later in their careers, and that connection likely contributed to their success.
