Attack on Titan has been widely acclaimed for its storytelling, animation, action sequences, characters, voice acting, soundtrack, and dark themes. The narrative centers on Eren Yeager, his adoptive sister Mikasa Ackerman, and their friend Armin Arlert as they navigate the brutal reality of living in a world overrun by Titans.
The Flash director Andy Muschietti was on board to helm the Warner Bros. adaptation of the immensely popular manga series. But now it’s been confirmed that it’s not going to be him. The studio is in search of someone else. And, the fans are already campaigning for the Rebel Moon creator.
Fans Pick Their Choice as the Potential Director of Attack on Titan Live-Action
Originally debuting as a manga in 2009, Attack on Titan gained substantial popularity, leading to its anime adaptation that first aired in 2013. The anime has been praised for its high-quality animation and its ability to create a truly immersive world.
Andy Muschietti was set to direct the movie. Generally, Muschietti’s involvement gives an assurance of a compelling and visually stunning interpretation of the thrilling story. But, as he miserably handled The Flash VFX, now it’s been confirmed he is not going to helm the live-action movie.
Now, as the studio scrambles to find a replacement, netizens have picked Zack Snyder as the director.

The person I can think of that is capable of making that on a big scale live action movie, and that guy is Zack Snyder. Just too bad property belongs to the worst studio ever!

Attack on Titan was ranked in IMDB’s top 100 TV shows along with shows like Breaking Bad, and Game of Thrones, earning a rating of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Zack Snyder Can Be A Good Fit for the Live-Action Movie
Zack Snyder was picked as the perfect choice to helm the movie as soon as it was aired that Andy Muschietti wouldn’t direct it.
Snyder, the visionary director known for his distinctive visual style, penchant for dark themes, and epic storytelling, can do a good job helming the live-action movie.
Attack on Titan is a dark and gritty manga, and Snyder is a master of creating dark and gritty films. His films often deal with complex and challenging themes, and he is not afraid to show the brutality of the world.
The anime itself explores themes of despair, survival, and the darker aspects of humanity when faced with insurmountable odds. Snyder’s filmography demonstrates a clear comfort and proficiency in dealing with complex and brooding themes. His ability to portray the struggle between light and dark, both visually and thematically, echoes the core essence of Attack on Titan.
Should such a collaboration come to fruition, it could potentially usher in a new era for the world of live-action anime adaptations, staying true to the spirit of the original series while bringing Snyder’s unique directorial vision to the forefront.
