Army of Thieves is the prequel to Zack Snyder’s Army of the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ, with it greatly expanding the series, and fans of the Netflix zombie franchise should be excited for this other recently released thriller. Army of the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ is one of Netflix’s most notable franchises, and while it has been dormant for a while now, the franchise’s actors are still doing exciting things with Netflix.

2021’s Army of the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ is a zombie heist movie directed by Zack Snyder, with it following a group of mercenaries who break into zombie-infested Las Vegas to pull off a heist. Snyder wanted Army of the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ to be a mᴀssive franchise, with a sequel and an anime prequel being in the works at various points but never being released.

However, 2021’s Army of Thieves was eventually released, with it acting as a prequel story that doesn’t focus on zombies. Instead, it follows the team’s safe cracker Ludwig Deiter, with him joining a team in order to crack some of Europe’s most difficult to break into safes.

Army Of Thieves Stars Matthias Schweighöfer & Ruby O. Fee Headline Netflix’s Brick Movie

The Thriller Movie Is A Great Army Of Thieves Successor

The cast of Army of Thieves stars Matthias Schweighöfer as Ludwig Dieter and Ruby O. Fee as Korina Dominguez, and the actors have just united again in another Netflix project. Schweighöfer and Dominguez both star in 2025’s Brick, with the German film coming from director Philip Koch.

Brick tells the story of Schweighöfer’s Tim and Dominguez’s Olivia, two individuals who live in an apartment building that suddenly becomes surrounded by a seemingly impenetrable brick wall. The duo works with the apartment’s other inhabitants in order to get everyone out alive, with them spending the film’s runtime trying to figure out how to escape the apartments.

Although the film is different from Army of Thieves, the shared actors and thriller genres mean that there is a lot to love in Brick for fans of the Zack Snyder franchise. Army of Thieves was already wildly different from Army of the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ, so it shouldn’t be too hard for fans of the prequel to jump into Brick.

Brick‘s reviews have been divisive, with the film currently having a 35% percent critic score and a 30% percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, fans of Army of Thieves should still check the new Netflix movie out, as it works as a great reunion for two of the prequel’s biggest stars.
