MTV caught up with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder, who is currently promoting his Doritos Super Bowl commercial contest. During the interview, Snyder called the reddit “review” of the movie “hilarious” and commented on spoilers overall.
“Of course I hate it when any spoilers come out!” he said. “You design the movie as a story that evolves as you watch it, so moment-to-moment [you’re thinking], ‘Oh my god, what’s going to happen next? Are they gonna live? Are they gonna die?’ So you want that experience for the audience, as much as you can. If you’re, as an audience member, exploring these articles, looking for answers to questions that you have, maybe you’re okay with knowing before you go. It’s like an individual taste. But like I said, I want people to see the movie without knowing.”
As for if too much was shown in the latest trailer, Snyder assures fans that there’s plenty more that they haven’t seen yet.
“I have the benefit of seeing the movie,” he pointed out “It’s cool that they think it’s too much and I appreciate people not wanting to know, but there’s plenty that they don’t know. There’s a lot of movie that’s not in the trailer.”
Snyder also commented on Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman:
“We kind of tried to just listen to Wonder Woman… to preserve her mystery but understand her as much as we can, in the way that we see her in the movie,” he said. “You’ve got to listen to Wonder Woman because what Wonder Woman wants, Wonder Woman gets, that’s just how it is.”
“I think that Gal [Gadot] is amazing, an amazing Wonder Woman and really – I feel like there’s an atmosphere out in the world where [with] this giant iconographic strong female superhero, it’s time. It’s time for that. It’s long overdue.”
And Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor:
“In the trailer, of course he comes across in a very specific way,” said Snyder. He and “Argo” screenwriter Chris Terrio had a lot of conversations about the sort of Lex they wanted to write before letting Eisenberg take the reins. “In the movie, he’s like a million times more sophisticated than what you get in 30 seconds. But that’s also the fun of it. That’s why you go to the movies, so you can actually see the context and understand the depth.”
Here’s video of Zack Snyder popping out of the Batmobile to announce the 3 finalists in his Doritos Super Bowl commercial contest. The winner will have their commercial shown during the Super Bowl, win $1 million dollars, and get to work with Snyder on a future DC Comics movie.
