In a recent interview with The Film Junkee, Zack Snyder talked about the Alpha Zombie King, Zeus, played by Richard Cetrone. He said that the character's name is Richard. He was a soldier and a guy before becoming a zombie. On how he was turned into alpha, the filmmaker explained that something happened to him. Snyder mentioned that Richard did volunteer for something, but it wasn't what he thought. He also went on a mission, which wasn't just like, come to this facility and train. The character went on a quest on his own and came back as this thing, he noted. 

 

Spoiler Alert! Army of the Dead showed Zeus as the strongest and smartest Zombie. He led the undead at Las Vegas and was even about to become a father with his alpha zombie Queen. However, the Army of the Dead ending has him being shot in the head by Scott Ward, played by Dave Bautista. But it was not before he bit ward and made him a zombie too, leading to his death at the hands of his own daughter.

The screen is by Zack Snyder, Shay Hatten, and Joby Harold, from a story by Snyder. It shows a group of soldiers hired to get $200 million from a vault in Las Vegas, the place which is now surrounded by the zombies. What is supposed to be a simple in and out mission turns out a killing spree when things go south. A prequel series is also in the works at Netflix.
