Ben Affleck will no longer be Batman

Recently, Ben Affleck said that he no longer wants to play Batman and seriously thinks about giving up the cult role in the forthcoming project about Gotham. The actor told about his reflections to the journalists of USA Today in one of the last interviews:

"It's impossible to always be a Batman, someday a moment comes and you realize that it's time to leave. And I want to do this as dignified and respectful as possible in relation to this project. "

Play or not play

However, this statement completely contradicts the relatively recent revelations of the actor about his role in the life of the star character, in which he admitted that he considers Batman to be one of the best comic book heroes and will happily play it in the new film by Matt Reeves.

This summer, Casey Affleck said that his brother is unlikely to be involved in the filming of a new movie about the superhero, but a little later the actor's attorneys denied this information, citing Affleck's lack of knowledge on the matter.

Conversations about the fact that Ben Affleck will not play Batman, appeared after the actor's refusal to direct the film, and the possible reason for this is the fact that the new director's group did not accept Affleck's amendment in a new scenario prepared by himself.
