Zack Snyder's first movie since the much-discussed Justice League is set to land on UK Netflix later this month, following a theatrical release in the US.

Much like his latest entry into the DC universe, Army of the Dead is a team-up-and-fight-em action blockbuster. But instead of facing an otherworldly foe, Dave Bautista and his tight-knit crew will be taking on a horde of unusual (i.e. smarter and scarier) zombies.

The film is set to be released on Friday 21st May, but Netflix is allowing fans to watch the first 15 minutes early, via a live event held yesterday (Thursday 13th May). All fans need to do is head along to Netflix's YouTube channel. Be quick the footage is only available until 3am Saturday (15th May), that's 32 hours - the same time in which Snyder's zombie-hunters have to complete their mission.

As well as unlocking the film's first 15 minutes, the event featured a special appearance from Zack Snyder himself, as well as interviews with the cast.

Viewers had to leave live comments and emojis, the more added the sooner the footage was shown or "dug up" from the vault shown on screen.

Dave Bautista, who leads the Army of the Dead cast as retired zombie war hero Scott Ward, has been confirmed, as have his fellow actors Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Ana De La Reguera, Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder and Tig Notaro, who play the members of his crew.

In the film, the team has been hired to retrieve $200 million from a walled-off, no-go zone in Las Vegas before the city is nuked. But will they succeed?
