Zack Snyder's spotlight has dimmed since the March release of his Zack Snyder's Justice League cut, which fans had been petitioning for since the 2017 release of Justice League. After he started directing that film, he had to step down due to a family tragedy, and Joss Whedon took over. Fans were unhappy with the end result, and this led to Snyder's return to the film, and his making of the 2021 cut. Now the director is back in the news, and is even trending on Twitter from a quote that was given by Eternals director Chloé Zhao.
In a recent interview with French-language outlet Purebreak Films, via a now-viral translation of an interview with Zhao, the director was talking about Snyder's Superman, saying:
"Of all modern interpretations of Superman, this is Zack Snyder's with Man of Steel which inspired me the most because he approached this myth in an authentic and very real way. I remember thinking it was Superman by Terrence Malick when I saw the trailer. This film left a strong impression on me. But Ikaris is of course our own take on Superman."
Zhao said in the interview that "Zack Snyder is the blueprint" for Superman movies, and that's the quote that had Twitter going wild. Check out a couple of the Tweets below, and enjoy. No matter whether you love or hate Snyder, the reactions are pretty funny.
