The Epic Triumph of the 'Sell Snyderverse To Netflix' Movement Surpasses All Boundaries

The 'Sell Snyderverse To Netflix' DC movement gains momentum as Warner Bros Discovery's licensing deal with Netflix fuels further support for the campaign

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav and DC Studios CEO Peter Safran initiated a business strategy to lease DC intellectual property (IP) to streaming services. The 'Sell Snyderverse on Netflix' campaign, which gained support from Zack Snyder, has now progressed as Warner Bros. Discovery and Netflix engage in negotiations for a licensing deal. Supporters of the Snyderverse hope that the DC rights can be leased to a third party, allowing Snyder to conclude his unfinished Justice League saga under the DC Elseworlds label. As James Gunn and Peter Safran plan to reboot the franchise, leasing the rights remains the most viable option for the Snyderverse. However, neither Netflix nor Snyder have formally made any requests, although Snyder has expressed his enthusiasm for finishing his Justice League saga through a third party. Netflix's interest in the HBO library, including the possibility of incorporating the Snyderverse, has also been rumored.

Deadline reports that Warner Bros. Discovery is in talks with Netflix regarding a potential lease of a packaged deal for HBO original content. This agreement would be under a non-exclusive license agreement, something that the initiative has been advocating for since its inception. Sources close to Deadline confirm that this deal is primarily driven by financial considerations, with some resistance from HBO veterans, but ultimately the financial motive prevailed. While unconfirmed, there are rumors that Netflix has expressed interest in including the Snyderverse in this package deal. This would involve titles such as Man of Steel, Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition, Zack Snyder's Justice League, and even the unreleased fan campaigned Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad.

It is important to approach this information with caution, but considering that Zack Snyder's Justice League is an HBO Max original, it is not difficult to imagine. The question arises as to why Netflix would be interested in these properties if they were not considering some form of continuation of the Snyderverse. During this major news, the hashtag “Sell Snyderverse to Netflix” started trending, with support from Kristiann Foran, the actor who played the alpha zombie in Snyder's Army of the Dead. Foran joins the likes of Snyder, Wayne T. Carr, and Forbes in publicly supporting the Netflix initiative to continue the Snyderverse on a third-party platform.

Gal Gadot remains optimistic about her future as Wonder Woman, despite Gunn and Safran axing Wonder Woman 3. In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, she revealed that work is underway behind the scenes and that we will be informed when the time is right. Although Gadot is closely associated with Snyder's version of the character, it is uncertain if this statement is connected to the 'Snyderverse on Netflix' campaign. Nevertheless, this development suggests that the initiative is becoming a more realistic option for Warner Bros. and streaming platforms.
