Rebel Moon isn’t the only franchise Zack Snyder is working on with Netflix. After the release of the second part of his movie franchise, we got an update on another Snyder project that may as well be his version of God of War called Twilight of the Gods.
What’s On Netflix reports that Snyder’s animated series project Twilight of the Gods, is expecting to come out this fall. We don’t have much details on the actual plot, but it will be Snyder’s take on Norse mythology, including characters like Thor, Hel, Loki and Odin. Snyder had described the plot back in 2023:
“There’s a king and his queen in a small Viking village, and they want to get married. An event happens to them at their wedding that causes Sigrid, who is the bride to be, who is the child of giants, to go on a crazy mission of revenge. She enlists a cast of characters – a seer, a dwarf – and they come together to form a band that has this one mission to find a god and fight him. It’s a mission, it’s a revenge story.”
The Twilight of the Gods series actually boasts a star-studded cast which includes the likes of Rahul Kohli (Midnight Mass), John Noble (LOTR: Return of the King), Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead), Jamie Chung (Big Hero 6), and Game of Thrones alum including Piloy Asbæk and Kristofer Hivju.
