According to the time loop subtext of the movie, all three realities are possible. And the third is that he somehow negotiated, fought or something happened that Zeus was distracted and so he was not killed by Zeus.
The second is he got bitten by Zeus and is a scary alpha zombie running around somewhere in the Nevada desert. One is he got murdered by Zeus and is laying dead in a hallway. ZS: We were just talking about the three potential Dieter scenarios. I’d back “Flight of the Dead,” that’s pretty good.ĭoes Dieter actually die offscreen in “Army of the Dead?” Is there a chance he could come back? “Flight of the Dead” could work as a title for that spinoff. ZS: I think Tig’s character, of course, could be really fun to find out how she went from doing dry, narrations of her helicopter tours at the Grand Canyon to piloting a zombie rescue mission. It was an invitation for my character and I said, “It’s a big playground, so let’s play.”Īre there other characters whose backstories you’d want to explore? On first sight, the film is about love and passion, and to have that as a prequel to “Army of the Dead,” which has this great style and a lot of zombies, you have a guy who comes from the other side and he’s searching for Gwendoline. Zack was sometimes like, “It’s great, I love that idea,” and others it was just like “No.” I love that here I was allowed to work with Zack and the character. MS: When we did “Army of the Dead,” I went to Zack like every day and I had these crazy ideas. How did you put your own stamp on “Army of Thieves” while taking over what Zack started on “Army of the Dead”? You know what it means when Scott says, “This is the most important member of the team.” The prequel was a great idea because it helps “Army of the Dead” grow and it has all these fantastic layers. Now with Dieter, you know the whole story of this guy. It helps the whole universe have these cool roots.
Matthias Schweighöfer: Zack and I talked about how the prequel feels a subtext arc for “Army of the Dead” because you understand what’s with the safes, who is Bly Tanaka. What was it like playing Dieter first in “Army of the Dead” and then fleshing him out more in “Army of Thieves”? There are a lot of fun Easter eggs, and we had a great time planting the seeds of the “Army” universe in that movie. Part of it was the desire to explore the mythological roots of the different safes and understand what the Gõtterdämmerung was all about, and also because Dieter is so interesting and to find out why he loves safes. Were these movies being planned simultaneously? Was it always the plan to explore Dieter’s backstory in a prequel? Speaking with Variety, Snyder also reveals which other character from “Army of the Dead” he’d want to get a prequel and what sci-fi elements, from time loops to portals to other realms, fans may see in the cinematic universe. The “Thieves” characters, assuming they’re still alive in the zombie-infested world, could pop up in a future installment, and Snyder and Schweighöfer both alluded to Dieter and Gwendoline happily reuniting in the future. “Army of Thieves” ditches most of the zombies for a more straightforward heist and introduces a new cast of characters, including Gwendoline, Dieter’s love interest played by Nathalie Emmanuel. However, as the prequel “Army of Thieves” proves, it’s possible for the characters to live on in the franchise, and Snyder teases that Dieter could very well be alive for his planned threequel, tentatively titled “Planet of the Dead.” Schweighöfer’s Dieter seemingly dies offscreen, sacrificing himself to the alpha zombie Zeus to buy time for Hardwick’s character to escape into the fabled Gõtterdämmerung vault. Unsurprisingly, many of the characters met their zombie-bitten doom by the time the credits rolled.
