Zack Snyder says he is not a fascist amid public criticism, and he points to his work as evidence of his views. In coverage tied to the premiere of his new film, “The Last Photograph,” at the Toronto International Film Festival, Snyder describes himself as pro-gay and says he “made the gayest movie ever made.”
Both outlets frame the remarks as a direct response to accusations circulating online and in public debate, rather than as part of the film’s plot discussion. Variety also notes contextual details about the project—its TIFF premiere, production by Deborah Snyder, and adaptation from a screenplay by longtime collaborator Kurt Johnstad—while focusing on Snyder’s insistence that the label does not fit him. Metro emphasizes the quote itself, presenting Snyder’s self-description as the core point.
While neither outlet suggests new evidence for or against the broader accusations, both agree Snyder is actively addressing the controversy in connection with the release of his latest film, highlighting LGBTQ themes and his stated support for gay audiences.
