Netflix’s newly released apocalyptic movie, Army Of The Dead, is getting an anime spin-off series which is awesome because everything is better in anime. Army Of The Dead is another one of Zack Snyder’s masterpieces and maybe it will turn out to be an all-new successful Netflix franchise like Stranger Things. With Zack and Deborah Snyder as executive producers, the movie premiered on May 14, with an amazing cast and stunning storyline.
Netflix is helping Snyder to establish a new cinematic universe after Warner Bros didn’t let him complete the DC Extended Universe and because the movie got a good response, Netflix has announced an anime spin-off series based on Army Of The Dead which is titled “Army Of The Dead: Lost Vegas”. Let’s find out more about the project in detail below
Everything About Army Of The Dead: Lost Vegas
First off, Army Of The Dead: Lost Vegas will be an anime series. The series will be set in the past meaning it would be a prequel series of the movie. Although Zack and Deborah Snyder completely handled the first project, Jay Oliva will be taking care of the spin-off series with Shay Hatten responsible for writing the series. Lost Vegas series will consist of 6 episodes in total.
Netflix has not confirmed any release date for Army Of The Dead: Lost Vegas but since another movie set in Zack Snyder’s Army Of The Dead universe, which would be titled “Army Of Thieves” is already set to be released in 2021, therefore we can expect the Lost Vegas series to come out sometime next year. Dave Bautista will be returning as the voice actor for his character Scott Ward, along with Ella Purnell as Kate Ward (Scott’s daughter). Other members from his mercenary group including Ana de la Reguera as Maria Cruz, Tig Notaro as Marianne Peter, Omari Hardwick as Vanderohe will also return to voice for their respective characters.
The Army Of The Dead: Lost Vegas series will focus on a brand new character named Rose who will be voiced by Joe Manganiello. Along with Joe, the series will introduce a lot of new characters who will be voiced by Christian Slater, Vanessa Hudgens, Ross Butler, Yetide Badaki, Jena Malone, Nolan North, and Ray Porter.
The Plot Details Of Army Of The Dead: Lost Vegas
As for the story of the Lost Vegas anime series, the show will go on to explore the early days of the outbreak when Scott’s mercenary group is tasked with entering and carrying out a vault heist in Las Vegas. While they have to carry out their heist, Las Vegas is declared a quarantine zone after a bioengineered zombie escaped from a military convoy and ended up infecting a major portion of the city.
This original bioengineered zombie is called Zeus and it along with its horde of zombies will become a major obstacle in the path of the mercenaries which would end up in an epic stand-off between the two sides. All in all Army Of The Dead: Lost Vegas will be a blast, plus its anime so it’s bound to be awesome.
