Netflix has dropped the Army of Thieves clip from the upcoming Army of the Dead prequel pic, centering around Matthias Schweighöfer’s fan-favorite character Dieter. The film will be available for streaming tomorrow on October 29.
The video provides us a preview of Dieter’s first meeting with Nathalie Emmanuel’s heisting crew. At first, Dieter, who is going by the name of Sebastian, is surprised by the team’s small number, but Emmanuel’s Gwendoline immediately defends it as the reason why they won’t get caught.

In this prequel to Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, small-town bank teller Dieter gets drawn into the adventure of a lifetime when a mysterious woman recruits him to join a crew of Interpol’s most wanted criminals, attempting to heist a sequence of legendary, impossible-to-crack safes across Europe.
Army of Thieves stars Grimme Award winner Matthias Schweighöfer, Nathalie Emmanuel (Games of Thrones, F9), Guz Khan (Turn Up Charlie), Ruby O. Fee, Stuart Martin (Jamestown), Jonathan Cohen (Budapest), Noemie Nakai, Peter Simonischek (Toni Erdmann), and John Bubniak.
