Zack Snyder Teases New Project From Paramount Lot: SnyderVerse Return?

Zack Snyder is poking around Hollywood, and he just made sure fans noticed the Paramount connection.

The filmmaker posted a new image on Instagram from the Paramount lot, captioning it, “Poking around the back lot in Hollywood as we start work on our new project.”

Snyder didn’t say what the project is, but the timing is going to fuel a lot of speculation.

Paramount is currently in the middle of its push to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, and the deal has major Middle East backing, including Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.

The image shows Snyder on the Hollywood lot with the Paramount water tower visible in the background.

That detail is the big one.

Fans immediately connected the dots in the comments, with many bringing up the SnyderVerse, DC, and Paramount.

One fan wrote, “Is that Paramount in the back? This man knows exactly what he’s doing.”

Another added, “Faith Alfred, faith.”

Snyder has been teasing DC-related material on social media for months, including posts tied to his DCEU films, the Trinity, and Justice League imagery. Now he is posting from the Paramount lot while Paramount is trying to buy Warner Bros. Discovery.

Could This Be Brawler?

Snyder’s next project could be Brawler, his UFC movie. The project was announced last year with UFC, Dana White, and Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh involved.

Brawler does not have an official movie studio attached as of yet. That makes Paramount an easy studio to watch.

Paramount already has a UFC connection, and the UFC is owned by TKO which recently partnered with the Saudis on a new boxing promotion.

Paramount Buying WBD Adds Fuel To SnyderVerse Talk

The bigger angle is what Paramount is trying to do with Warner Bros. Discovery.

Paramount’s WBD deal would put Warner Bros., HBO, DC, and the studio’s film and TV assets under a new corporate structure.

Recently even saw that Paramount FCC filing reveal the Middle East could become majority holders.

Now this is where the SnyderVerse speculation comes in.

Snyder’s Justice League and DCEU films remain major talking points online, especially with fans who want Warner Bros. to revisit his DCEU plans.

We have also heard that the Saudis want Snyder back involved with the SnyderVerse as a way to rival Marvel.

For now, nothing official has been announced. The Paramount-WBD is expected to close by the end of July. Stay tuned to Zack’s Instagram posts for more clues.
