Fans urge Netflix to acquire SnyderVerse rights

Fans of the DC Comics universe are actively pushing for Netflix to purchase the rights to Zack Snyder's work, known as the SnyderVerse. This movement is trending on social media under the hashtag #SellSnyderVerseToNetflix. Supporters argue that Warner Bros. Discovery should sell Snyder’s Justice League and related projects to Netflix, citing Snyder’s past successful collaborations with the streaming service. The campaign has gained momentum despite Warner Bros. moving away from the SnyderVerse since the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League in 2021. Fans express disappointment over the lack of continuation for Snyder’s vision, with some describing the situation as "criminal.” Fans have been vocal about their desire to see more from Snyder, with comments about the missed opportunities for sequels to his films. James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, has called the movement one of the "wackiest" hashtags. He noted that neither Snyder nor Netflix has shown interest in acquiring the SnyderVerse. Discussions about this potential sale would need to be negotiated directly between DC and Warner Bros., as Snyder does not own the rights to the characters. Despite the challenges, fans remain hopeful. They suggest that Snyder's story could live on through a different narrative format, such as an Elseworlds saga, which would allow for a mix of stories. Snyder, currently working on new projects with Netflix, has not made any statements about the SnyderVerse but has engaged with the fan movement on social media. The hashtags #RestoreTheSnyderVerse and #SellZSJLtoNetflix continue to keep the discussion alive.
