Zack Snyder returned to Netflix in 2023 with the release of a two-part film titled Rebel Moon, marking his return after leaving Justice League and the subsequent release of his director's cut. The project, described by some as somewhat the Star Wars of the director, was a long-term endeavor. However, the two Rebel Moon films were critical and commercial failures. The release of extended versions a few months later did not allow the saga to rehabilitate itself in the eyes of the public, and this failure has seriously slowed the development of the franchise's projects, including films, series, video games, and comics that were previously announced. Zack Snyder's new film, a war film titled The Last Photograph, was not produced by Netflix. The first reactions following its premiere at the Toronto festival were not promising, as the film was criticized by both the press and the audience present. A success might have allowed the filmmaker to regain credibility in the eyes of the studios, and particularly with Netflix. However, this new failure seems to confirm the complete abandonment of his Rebel Moon saga. Totally lucid, the American director has told the site The Direct that a third part will probably never see the light of day. According to Snyder, "It's one of those situations where I think the films need to be a bit more popular and somehow rediscovered for us to make another one." As it stands, there seems to be no project around the Rebel Moon franchise anymore. Zack Snyder, who never lacks projects, is currently working on a spin-off series from his film 300. He is also involved in a remake of the cult classic New York 1997 by John Carpenter, which will retain, according to him, the retro-futuristic aspect of the original film. The two parts of Rebel Moon are now available on Netflix, in their public cuts and director's cut.
