Additionally, Zack Snyder’s feature has added Ana De La Reguera (Goliath), Theo Rossi (Sons of Anarchy), and Huma Qureshi (Kaala). Their characters’ identity is still under wrap, but our guess is that De La Reguera will play the”hard-drinking and tough-talking” Cruz.
Zack Snyder will make his return behind the camera of a zombie pic after his 2004’s Dawn of the Dead, which was also his first movie as director. Since then he has mostly stayed close to the comic book genre with 300, Watchmen, Man of Steel, and Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. He also made the action epic Sucker Punch.
