Surprisingly, though, he’s also been answering questions about this other passion: Fortnite.

Snyder has previously spoken about his love for Fortnite. With press junkets for Rebel Moon in full swing, it was only a matter of time before someone asked the obvious question: would Snyder consider directing a Fortnite movie?

Zack Snyder says a Fortnite movie could happen – “Never say never”

Inan interview with Etalk, Snyder was asked if he’d ever direct a Fortnite movie. Snyder emphatically answered he would love to do the project, revealing he had already tried to get a Rebel Moon tie-in to the game.

“Of course!” Snyder said. “I was trying to make Fortnite skins for the movie, as just the most obviously, basic involvement. Fortnite is an amazing world, and it is an amazing distraction for me, but it’s really cool. The alchemy that they’ve created there is really unique. When I started playing it, I thought I knew what it was, and then it was something entirely different.”

Zack Snyder’s love for Fortnite is no secret. The acclaimed director behind 300 and Batman v Superman revealed he’s a fan during 2023’s Gamescom event,frequenting the Zero Build mode as Mr. Meeseeks.

Still, it may be a pipe dream. Fortnite remains a property that does not currently have a film in development. The game has been almost entirely focused on its video game identity, includingmultiple new modesthat were recently added.

That could change at any time, though, especially with the success of recent video game movies like The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Five Nights At Freddy’s, or upcoming video game fare likeMinecraftorThe Legend of Zelda.
