Army of the Dead has a release date – the zomb𓂃ie heist movie is heading t🦄o Netflix on May 21.

The movie, directed by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder, follows a gr▨oup of mercenaries who plot a heist on a Las Vegas casino during a zombie outbreak. The ensemble cast includes Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Garret Dillahunt, Raúl Ca🦂stillo, Omari Hardwick, Hiroyuki Sanada, Tig Notaro, and Matthias Schweighöfer.

This is Snyder's first movie since 2017's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Justice League, which he stepped away from due to a family tragedy. His long-awaited director's cut, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder's Justice League, is finally set for release on March 18 on HBO Max (and it will be 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:available to stream worldwide on the same day, too).

“The movie is bonkers but in a great way," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Snyder recently said. "I’m super happy with what we did and just how, like, genre-destroying it is, in a great way.” Apparently, there's "a couple wide shots where there’s like an army, like a Lord of the Rings style zombie horde". This isn't Snyder's first time at the undead rodeo, so we've got high hopes – his debut feature was 2004's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dawn of the Dead, an action-packed zombie movie written by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn

When he took to Twitter to reveal the release date, Snyder also announced that the movie's♛ first teaser will be released on Thursday – this will give us our first glimpse of the movie, so stay tuned for that.
