Another zombie-infested heist will land on Netflix with Zack Snyder's Army Of The Dead prequel.

We all saw it coming— Zack Snyder's action-filled, zombie heist Army Of The Dead will have more stories to tell. The two-hour-long film was not enough to explore and answer questions that left the fans hanging. 

This year, its prequel, Army Of Thieves will air sooner than we think. The trailer for the heist movie was released last week at the movie's San Diego Comic-Con panel. This time, the movie will be helmed by actor and director Matthias Schweighöfer played professional safecracker Ludwig Dieter in Army Of The Dead.

The new addition to Snyder's zombie universe follows a heist conducted by Dieter, one of the original movie’s most popular characters. This movie was in production before the release of Army of the Dead.

Theories Will Be Answered

In the original movie, viewers were baffled by the appearance of hybrid zombies, humanoids, and whatnot. With Schweighöfer's story set on the outset of the apocalypse, fans can expect to see and understand the origins of these creatures. 

More Human vs Human Action

In Snyder's Army Of The Dead, the biggest threats faced by the main characters were zombies. This time, fans can expect the main adversaries to be fellow humans.

There Will Be Less Zombies

It is abundantly clear that there wouldn't be a lot of the undead and evolved zombies in Army Of Thieves as it is set before the zombie outbreak. It is a safe bet that the movie will give much of its screen time emphasising Dieter's character.
