‘Halloween Kills’ Receives Limited Collectors 4K UHD Steelbook

Whether you liked Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead or not, it was still a wild ride. Thanks mostly to the cast and SFX, the Netflix movie was a success and spawned a prequel, an upcoming sequel, and the animated series, Lost Vegas.

If there aren’t any delays, the animated show will hit Netflix sometime this year. This is the second prequel set in Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead universe and will span six episodes. Snyder is busy with other projects at the moment so it’s being developed by Jay Olivia who has done a lot of animated stuff for television.

Snyder is still following the project and released a first image capture (see below) from his Twitch stream.

Just because Snyder isn’t attached doesn’t mean some of his original cast isn’t. (whats-on-netflix.com)

The actors below will be returning to their original roles, voicing their respective characters. Some of these actors have been very busy over the past year. So we have included a few of the other projects they are working on in case you’re interested. Some projects are in production. Some are “in the can” as they say, but all are working and that’s great news in this post-pandemic world.

Who is Returning for Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas

Dave Bautista (Scott Ward)

If there’s anyone on this list working harder than Bautista this year, let us know in the comments. This hulking celebrity is keeping it sci-fi in 2023 with Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Dune, but also dipping his toe into the horror genre for 2022.

Although his fate in Army of the Dead is sealed, we are curious to see his backstory. Dave Bautista (Scott Ward) Army of the Dead

Coming Up for Bautista:

• Army of the dead: Lost Vegas (2022)
• Dune: Part 2 (2023)
• Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 (2023)
• Knock at the Cabin (2023)

Ella Purnell (Kate Ward)

Kate Ward wasn’t exactly a favorite among some fans of the series. They claim that through her actions, the heist in the film was ruined. Purnell even had to go online to defend her character almost making a string chart as to why it wasn’t her fault.

Even so, and since it’s a prequel, Kate is returning to the animated series and perhaps we will find out a little more backstory about Kate and Scott’s relationship. Ella Purnell (Kate Ward) Army of the Dead

Coming Up for Purnell:

• Fallout TV series
• Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas (2022)

Omari Hardwick (Vanderohe)

Vanderohe gives us the “twist” at the end of the first film and Snyder will probably use that as a jumping-off point in the proper sequel. Hopefully, the animated series will delve into some of his past. Like how he decided to major in philosophy in college and what went down with Scott Ward during the Las Vengeance operation; a rescue collective that helped zombie apocalypse survivors. Or what it was like working in a convalescent home after Las Vengeance disbanded.

Coming up for Hardwick:

• Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas (2022)
• The Mother (2022)
• The Mothership (2022)

Ana de la Requera (Maria Cruz)

Speaking of Los Vengeance, Ana as Maria was one of its founding members. Before that, she was a successful Vegas businesswoman with her own repair shop. Once Vegas was completely quarantined and walled up, Ana moved to Southern California. She was then approached to do the Vegas heist.

Maybe Lost Vegas will go into her time in Victorville and the secret behind the key she wears around her neck. Ana de la Requera (Maria Cruz)

Coming up for Ana de la Requera:

• Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas (2022)
• Lupe (2023)
• Leopard Skin (TV series)

Tig Notaro (Marianne Peters)

Perhaps one of the biggest surprise casting decisions of Army of the Dead was the last-minute digital casting of Tig Notaro as Marianne Peters. Not to say that it wasn’t warranted, but Tig is usually more of a comedy brand. She is still funny in Army of the Dead but has a badass edge that we haven’t really seen before.

Peters’ participation in Las Vengence earned her a spot in the Vegas heist where her piloting skills came into use. Also a Victorville transplant, Marianne and Ana probably have some stories to tell. Tig Notaro (Marianne Peters) Army of the Dead

Coming up for Tig:
