Army of the Dead might not be a straight follow-up to Zack Snyder’s 2004 film Dawn of the Dead, yet an Easter egg proposes that they share the same universe.
Snyder primarily turned up with the tale for Army of the Dead, which comes after a crew of mercenaries on a bold theft into a zombie-ridden Las Vegas, soon after the reveal of Dawn. Although, it was not up to Netflix fetched Army of the Dead in 2019 that manufacture at last got in progress.
Army of Dead Easter Eggs
Zack Snyder has said that Army of the Dead is not a Dawn of the Dead follow-up, and at initial peek the film provides no sign that there has been any mass zombie epidemic previous to the one in Las Vegas.
Elevating closer check-up, although, it is released that this is not the first time zombies have materialized in the Army of the Dead universe.
While the chopper pilot Marianne Peters (Tio Notaro) is looking at the newest news on her phone, straight away down a tale about the schemes to atomize Las Vegas is a story that says ’Newest Data Revealed About ’04 Zombie Outbreak in Milwaukee’.
Dawn of the Dead was initially set in a shopping mall in Milwaukee, which a team of survivors utilizes as a secure shelter in the rouse of a zombie breakout, and the film got revealed in 2004.
The people who survived are plunged in the mall for most of the film, and most of the news reports of the zombie battles are regional, so it is surely feasible that the breakout was secluded to Milwaukee. Maybe the government even made a circumference alike to the one that borders Las Vegas in Army of the Dead.
While this can just be a fun throwaway Easter egg, Army of the Dead actually set in the same universe as Dawn of the Dead does make some sense. Army of the Dead and Dawn of the Dead trade-in with the theme of zombie gestation.
In the 2004 film, Luda (Inna Korobkina) is bitten while steadily pregnant and dies at the time of the delivery, emerging from the dead for just long enough to give birth to a zombie baby.
In the Army of the Dead, the Zombie queen of Las Vegas organizes to give birth to a pure alpha zombie baby, but the fetus demises after her head are cut off her body.
If the news report on Peter’s mobile is a lot than just Easter egg, maybe the surviving roles from Dawn of the Dead might even come back in Army of the Dead 2.
