James Gunn’s Internet-Breaking Zack Collaboration

James Gunn sent the internet into a frenzy on Thursday. He posted a photo of himself with Zack Snyder, lighting up chat rooms and social media feeds everywhere.

“Always a pleasure catching up with my friend Zack Snyder, consummate filmmaker (and a doubly consummate storyteller!),” Gunn shared, sparking intense fan speculation.

A Meeting in a Familiar Location

The curious photograph showed them in a familiar spot. This backdrop was previously seen when Gunn unveiled the DC writers’ room, causing diehard fans to speculate wildly.

Could Snyder be stepping back into the DC universe? Maybe they discussed the upcoming Superman movie. There’s talk online suggesting Snyder’s visual effects team might be involved. Perhaps Gunn wants Snyder’s touch for the visuals?

Future DC Collaborations: Back to the Batcave?

Alternatively, their meeting might have been about a different project. Rumors have swirled since last summer that Snyder could return to DC. Some believe he could adapt Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns.

Imagine a world with three Batmen: Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson’s Batman, Gunn’s DCU version, and Snyder’s take on The Dark Knight Returns. Would Ben Affleck reprise his role? Such a Batman Multiverse was initially teased following The Flash. Fans are eagerly piecing together this puzzle.

Friendship That Shakes the Internet

The photo might also serve a more straightforward purpose: bridging gaps between fandoms. Snyder’s and Gunn’s fanbases clash online, each fervently defending their favorites. Yet, Gunn and Snyder maintain a genuine friendship. Why not unite their fans too?

If Gunn officially revealed a Snyder-directed DC film, it would likely silence the noise. Fans would come together in shared anticipation, but until then, the internet remains divided.

Mark your calendars: James Gunn’s Superman soars into theaters on July 11, 2025. But until then, the wait continues—and so do the speculations.
