Army of the Dead director Zack Snyder and star Omari Hardwick revealed that there are plans for a potential sequel.
“There is hope for all of you fans who don’t mind looking at Omari’s mug or don’t mind following my journey as an actor. There is some hope,” Hardwick said to ET Online. “There definitely have been some talks about the maybes, the maybes and the ifs.”
“Look,” Snyder added. “If there was ever a desire for more Army of the Dead, [co-writer Shay Hatten] and I know exactly where the story goes. So, yeah, we’re ready.” Snyder previously mentioned interest in helming a possible sequel after the release of the Army of the Dead trailer, saying, “If it were possible, or if anyone was interested in it to continue the adventures of this world will be fun.”
