Zack Snyder has endeared himself to moviegoers through his action-packed and highly stylized films. He is responsible for re-imagining Superman and has managed to garner success from his original concepts as well.

In the latest news involving the Man of Steel director, it seems as though an interesting project may be on the horizon. Former collaborator and comedian Tig Notaro recently appeared on an episode of the “On With Kara Swisher” podcast, where she first shared her views on being cast as a replacement on Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead.

“I go viral for being sexy in this film. And it was so unexpected. My phone’s exploding. I’m not walking around going ‘Oh my God,’ you know, ‘check me out.’ I was so confused. So I called Zack, and I said, ‘I’m hearing it from straight men, gay men, gay women and straight women that they think I’m hot in this movie.'”

From there, Notaro went on to add that she riffed with the director about a potential film concept channeling the energy of her character from their work together.

“‘What if we just went for it and everyone’s a hot lesbian?' He was like, ‘Oh my God, yes, let’s make that movie.’ And so who knows? It’s a Hollywood project. We’re in the process of putting the script together. Picture this poster: We have the name of the film, and then it says ‘Hot Lesbian Action.’ That’s how I sold him on the Zoom.”

While no release date is in place for the upcoming project, Notaro shared the following cryptic teaser for the fans,

“As of now, the the movie is called ‘Deviants,’ and takes place back in some old-timey days, like some closeted deviants.”

Zack Snyder - Possible DC Return

Zack Snyder famously directed several films as part of a DC extended universe, though his vision was never fully seen through. At an important crossroads for the company, Warner Bros. Discovery ultimately saw fit to give control of DC properties to director James Gunn, who had seen previous success working on films for Marvel Studios.

Warner Bros. Discovery is now reported to take on new leadership once a sale is finalized, and it appears that James Gunn is no longer a part of the uncertain future at DC. As news of the sale has been developing, and rumors have run rampant about Gunn’s future, Zack Snyder has been feeling the fire with cryptic Instagram posts showcasing his most memorable moments during his tenure manning the DC brand for Warner Bros.

While this is purely speculative for now, it will be interesting to keep an eye on it once the sale goes through.
