Zack Snyder Creating A Norse Mythology Anime For Netflix

It doesn’t take a film school graduate to tell that director Zack Snyder is heavily-influenced by anime. Sure, he may be more associated with American comic book properties than Japanese, but with his emphasis on iconic imagery over movement, it’s clear where a good amount of his influence comes — and you didn’t even need the movie Sucker Punch to exist to notice it.

Now, it sounds like Snyder himself is taking the full leap into the medium, as indicated by a new report from THR. According to the outlet, Snyder will be teaming up with Netflix to create an anime series based on Norse mythology.

He will act as co-creator alongside Jay Oliva, a frequent collaborator of his who worked with him on such films as Justice League and Batman v Superman.

“Zack Snyder’s innovation in visual storytelling has pushed the industry forward and established him as one of the most distinctive filmmakers of his generation. We are beyond excited to partner with him and his exceptional team to bring the iconic characters and stories of Norse mythology to life in his inimitable style,” said John Derderian, head of anime programming at Netflix.

There are sadly no details regarding the project itself, but this move further proves how committed the streaming giant is to anime and animation in general, and it also solidifies their relationship with Snyder, who is also making Army of the Dead with the streamer.
