Army Of The Dead: Is There A Timeline Where The Heist Succeeded?
Zack Snyder has teased a time loop at work in Army of the Dead, and the movie might provide a disguised alternate timeline glimpse at the heist succeeding. In Army of the Dead, Dave Bautista's mercenary Scott Ward leads his team of veteran zombie killers, known as Las Vengeance, to pull off a heist in the sealed-off, zombie-filled Las Vegas. Of course, there’s more going on than they’re told, and that includes in Army of the Dead’s sci-fi elements.
During the meeting where businessman Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada) hires the team, he lays out the basic plan for the heist. Tanaka narrates the plan over a montage of the team carrying out their mission, which might seem like a throwaway moment. Upon closer inspection, the team all appear to be in the same outfits and carrying the same tactical gear as they eventually do when they embark on the mission.

Unlike in the ending of Army of the Dead, the film’s debriefing montage also shows the heist as successful with the entire team returning home, which could actually be an alternate victorious timeline hidden right in front of viewers. This could provide considerable evidence to back up the observation made by Vanderohe (Omari Hardwick) that the team are caught in a loop “fighting and dying”. Vanderohe reaches this conclusion upon the team’s discovery of a previous failed heist of Tanaka’s casino, with the rotting skeletons of the deceased team appearing to resemble them. Tanaka’s own layout of the heist plans could add more evidence to this, with Snyder’s curious decision to have the team identically suited up as they end up being later in the film.
