Ben Affleck is not holding back about his extremely negative experience during the reshoots of 2017's Justice League under director Joss Whedon.
Ben Affleck gets real about the poor conditions surrounding the Justice League movie reshoots run by director Joss Whedon. The actor talked in depth about how the situation personally impacted him. 2017's Justice League was released in theaters as a very different movie than the one Zack Snyder, the film's original director, had intended to make. Due to a number of factors, Snyder exited his role as Justice League's director, with Warner Bros.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Affleck opened up about his negative experience during Justice League's reshoots. Affleck's Batman movie plans fell through after the actor had what he described as "the worst experience I’ve ever seen in a business which is full of some shitty experiences.
I was going to direct a Batman, and [Justice League] made me go, “I’m out. I never want to do any of this again. I’m not suited.” That was the worst experience I’ve ever seen in a business which is full of some shitty experiences. It broke my heart. There was an idea of someone [Joss Whedon] coming in, like, “I’ll rescue you and we’ll do 60 days of shooting and I’ll write a whole thing around what you have. I’ve got the secret.” And it wasn’t the secret. That was hard.
After returning as Superman in 2022's Black Adam for a post-credits scene, Cavill discovered two months later that he was out again. Cavill wasn't fired from Superman, he just did not have his contract renewed with DC Studios.
That plan revealed its first 10 projects in January with a formal announcement made by Gunn. The DC executive talked about what projects would start the DC Universe "Chapter One." Gunn announced Elseworlds movies, or films not designed to be canon, are going to be a facet of the new DC Studios. The Batman universe by Matt Reeves fits that description.
