Marvel Fans Speculate Zack Snyder’s Potential MCU Entry
Known for his visually stunning and narratively complex style, Zack Snyder ventured into establishing a cinematic universe for DC with the 2013 film Man of Steel, starring Henry Cavill. While the DC Extended Universe has concluded its chapter, fans are now pondering the possibility of Snyder taking the reins of an MCU project, potentially an R-rated Ghost Rider film.
Amidst ongoing speculation regarding Henry Cavill’s potential entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Twitter user BLURAYANGEL recently sparked further discussion with a tweet stating, “Watch Kevin Feige get Zack Snyder to do a Marvel movie next,” suggesting that it could be “Ghost Rider.”
The tweet has ignited a flurry of responses from fans, with many offering their own suggestions for Snyder’s potential MCU project. One fan proposed Midnight Suns as an ideal fit for Snyder’s directorial style, while others floated various other possibilities, including World War Hulk, a Daredevil movie, Blade, or even Secret Wars.

I think Zack Snyder has made himself clear that if mcu gives him a green light to do a movie he would love to do a daredevil movie

He should do a Hulk movie

God please do it. Zack Snyder will go "Hard R" and give Ghost rider the best movie by copying each and every comic book panel.

Many are also speculating him to take on projects like a Dark Avengers movie or an X-Men movie. While Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed the Rebel Moon director’s involvement in the MCU, fans are pretty excited about the possibility of him joining the franchise.
Zack Snyder Shared Which Marvel Character He Wants to Work With
Discussions surrounding Zack Snyder working on a Marvel project have been going on for years. And amid all the suggestions and speculations, the filmmaker has shared which Marvel character he would love to work with, in an earlier interview.
During a ComicBook Debate, the filmmaker was asked which Marvel character he would choose to make a film on. Snyder shared that he would prefer to work on Frank Miller’s Elektra Lives Again, a spin-off to the original Daredevil, which revolves around Elektra’s apparent return from death.
“I would choose Elektra Lives Again. Do you know that Frank Miller comic book?” he said, explaining that the graphic novel follows Daredevil having dreams about Elektra coming back to life.“It’s really cool and weird…It’s just cool, and beautiful. That’s what I would do. No one cares, but that’s what I would do,” he further said during the conversation.
The particular comic aligns with his penchant for darker themes and unconventional storylines, reflecting his distinct aesthetic sensibility. However, given Marvel’s ongoing development of a Daredevil series, the likelihood of this adaptation for the Marvel Cinematic Universe does not seem likely anytime soon.
