Is Vanderohe immune?

Vanderohe's delayed transformation could mean he's immune to whatever created Zeus, but he still might spread it when he lands in Mexico City. Or it's just creative licence on Snyder's part to save the reveal of the bite until the final scene of the movie.

Army of the Dead ending spoilers follow.

Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead has been watched by a lot of people since its release and most of them are left with the same questions. You wouldn't think a movie about a heist taking place in zombie-infested Las Vegas would leave so many mysteries, but this is Snyder we're talking about and he's got an extended universe to build. We were never going to get every single answer, so we're going to have to wait to find out how the zombies were created and events of the zombie war. However, there are some mysteries that Snyder and the cast have started to address, such as Geeta's fate. And, of course, the movie ends on a major cliffhanger that looks set to lead to a sequel, while not wrapping everything up. So let's have a delve into the events of Army of the Dead and its ending to address its biggest mysteries. We're about to head into major spoilers for Army of the Dead, so look away now if you haven't seen the movie yet.

Army of the Dead ending explained

First thing's first, we don't learn too much about how the zombies came about other than that the Alpha zombie Zeus was originally at Area 51. We see Zeus escape in the cold open after the soldiers are transporting him somewhere are involved in an accident. This happens just outside of Las Vegas, so Zeus goes down there – with some freshly-turned soldiers – and chaos breaks loose as we see the zombies hit Vegas during the title sequence, set to a cover of 'Viva Las Vegas', naturally. The origins of the zombies and the actual zombie war will be explored in more detail in spin-off series Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas. Snyder pointed out to Polygon that the zombie was being shipped to Iran ("is he some sort of covert bioweapon?"), so that could play a part. However, we get no more answers in the movie as we switch to some time later and Scott Ward flipping burgers. Scott is approached by casino boss Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada) with a proposition to go into Vegas and get $200 million from a vault underneath Bly's Las Vegas. The only problem is that the government plans to nuke Vegas in four days to destroy the zombies walled-off in the city.

Scott assembles his team, which includes former army buddy Vanderohe (Omari Hardwick), mechanic Maria Cruz (Ana de la Reguera), helicopter pilot Marianne Peters (Tig Notaro) and German safe cracker Ludwig Dieter (Matthias Schweighöfer). Scott asks for the help of his daughter Kate (Ella Purnell) to get into the city, since she works in the quarantine camp outside Vegas, and she puts them in touch with Lily, aka the Coyote (Nora Arnezeder). The plan's all set, but a wrinkle is introduced when Kate insists on going in with them to find Geeta (Huma Qureshi) who's gone missing in the city. When they get into Vegas, it's not what they expected. Instead of hordes of zombies, they see a lot of dead zombies called Shamblers. Turns out there's a whole zombie civilisation, led by Zeus and his Queen, with fast zombies called Alphas and then the Shamblers, who are basically the grunts of the zombie world. The Coyote shoots slimy quarantine security guard Burt Cummings (Theo Rossi) and leaves him as a trade for the zombies, allowing the rest of them free passage. "We all keep talking about the city like it's their prison, it's not – it's their kingdom," Lily explains of her actions. To be honest, as zombie-infested heists go, it goes fairly swimmingly apart from Tanaka's shady head of security Martin (Garret Dillahunt) luring Chambers (Samantha Win) to her death when she starts suspecting his true intentions.

With Ludwig working on getting into the vault, the team's problems start when Martin goes outside with Lily and beheads the Queen. Turns out Tanaka isn't interested in the money – he wanted the DNA of the zombies because he can sell it to the highest bidder, given them "the power to make more of them, the power to control your own zombie army". Needless to say, Zeus is a bit pissed off when he discovers the body of his Queen, especially as she was carrying his zombie baby (yep, we don't know how that works either). And if an annoyed Alpha zombie wasn't enough of a problem, the government moves the nuclear bomb forward by 24 hours, meaning it'll hit in 90 minutes. Ludwig manages to open the vault, but as the team get prepared to take the money to the helicopter on the casino roof, Zeus attacks with his zombie army and the team start dying one by one. First up is Cruz, shortly after she admits her true feelings to Scott, who in a double blow has also realised Kate's gone missing. Shortly after, Ludwig saves Vanderohe by locking him in the vault when Vanderohe is about to be killed by Zeus, only for Ludwig to be killed instead. It's OK though, we'll see him again in the prequel movie Army of Thieves, and Snyder has been teasing that maybe Ludwig isn't as dead as we think. "We don't see [Dieter] die, that's true. That's fair. You would say in a horror movie if we don't see you die, by the rules of horror...," Snyder teased to TheFilmJunkee. Mikey Guzman (Raúl Castillo) then dies as they try to escape the casino. Martin had left the team for dead to try and escape with the Queen's head, not realising that Lily had swapped the bags. Doesn't matter anyway as Martin is soon brutally mauled to death by Zeus's zombie tiger Valentine.

Scott and Lily make it to the roof where she explains that she helped Martin because he promised he'd get everyone out of the quarantine camp. To make up for it, Lily sacrifices herself by holding up the Queen's head when Zeus arrives, luring him away from the helicopter and allowing Scott to escape. However, he doesn't want to leave Vegas yet as he believes that Kate has gone over to the Olympus where Zeus usually takes his victims to turn them. Scott persuades Marianne to drop him off and stick around as he goes inside to find Kate, who has found Geeta and killed the zombie version of Cummings. Scott reunites with Kate just in time as Zeus is about to attack and Scott, Kate and Geeta get to the roof to board the helicopter and finally leave Vegas. Zeus jumps on board just as it leaves and as they fly away, the nuclear bomb hits Vegas. As Marianne struggles to keep control of the helicopter in the wake of the blast, Scott battles with Zeus who bites him, but Scott eventually manages to shoot Zeus in the head before the helicopter crashes. Marianne appears to have definitely died in the crash (or from the gunshot she received during the struggle between Scott and Zeus), but the fate of Geeta is unclear. We don't see her after the crash at all, so the scope is there for her return in the sequel. Maybe she's just unconscious? "I'll say one thing. In a horror movie, if you don't die on screen, then you're not dead," she told Bollywood Life.

Having killed Zeus, Scott is able to say goodbye to Kate before he dies from the zombie bite and as he turns into a zombie, Kate kills him. We see a helicopter arriving in the background that'll presumably take her to safety, but we don't see anything else from her. Cutting back to the now-destroyed Las Vegas, Vanderohe emerges out of the rubble and makes his way to an airport where he buys himself a place on a private plane heading to Mexico City. He doesn't look well on the plane though and when he checks himself out in a bathroom, he's been bitten and the movie ends with him saying, "F**k". While we never saw Vanderohe getting bitten, it's safe to assume that it happened in his battle with Zeus outside the vault. That means he's going to become an Alpha zombie, but it's unusual that it's taken him so long to turn when all other transformations happen quickly in the movie, albeit to people already dead. The final moment sees Vanderohe chuckle when he discovers his fate and for Omari Hardwick, that was fitting as going into the heist, Vanderohe seemed to have it all figured out.

Netflix

"He's looking at the end at himself like, 'Wow, OK, so any of the philosophies that I threw out, do they now work? Do they save me or are they just that?' And so I think we leave my face in the form of a question mark, and I think that's where I tried to play it, this space of being interrogative and not a period," he told Collider. "I didn't want to be declarative, I wanted to be a question mark at the end. If my face could be compared to anything of exclamation, it was that of a question mark." Vanderohe's delayed transformation could mean he's immune to whatever created Zeus, but he still might spread it when he lands in Mexico City. Or it's just creative licence on Snyder's part to save the reveal of the bite until the final scene of the movie. Either way, the zombies might have been destroyed in Vegas (although some might have survived underground), but the cliffhanger clearly sets up that the zombie threat isn't over if Army of the Dead does return for a sequel. "What we have planned is too crazy. Once we knew Vanderohe was bit, and he's going to Mexico City, I was like, 'You know what's gonna happen?' And then I just went on a tear. And by the time it ended, Shay was like, 'OK'," Snyder told Polygon.
