Ben Affleck Reportedly Doesn't Want to Play Batman Anymore

A month ago, while promoting his passion project Live by Night — which he directed, wrote, produced, and starred in — on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Ben Affleck confirmed that he would be directing The Batman, his first standalone film as the Caped Crusader.

However, after Live by Night bombed at the box office — causing a $75 million loss for Warner Bros. — Affleck reportedly experienced a crisis of confidence, questioning whether or not he could simultaneously direct and star in a big-budget superhero movie. In the end, he chose to step down as director of The Batman, citing his desire to focus on the acting side of the role. And according to recent reports, Matt Reeves, the talented director behind Cloverfield (2008) and Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014), will take the helm.

While many of us had hoped that would put an end to all the drama surrounding The Batman, John Campea is now claiming that three separate sources have told him over the past four days that Affleck no longer wants to be The Dark Knight in the DCEU.

"Ben Affleck, make no mistake, he does want out," Campea shared on today's episode of Collider Movie Talk. "He doesn't want to be Batman anymore." He added, "I've been told, Ben Affleck is talking with Warner Bros. in an attempt to get out of being Batman. And if they do not let him out of being Batman, the standalone Batman film that ultimately happens will be the last time we see Ben Affleck as Batman."

Campea offered up some disclaimer ahead of the statement, but his statements, and issuing of sources, were both presented as definitive. This also isn't the first time someone has reported talk within WB of Affleck leaving the role, which started as early as when he first left the director's chair.

The Batman does not yet have an official release date from Warner Bros., but regardless of any of this extra drama and rumors, Ben Affleck will next appear as Batman in Justice League later this year, a movie that's finished principal photography.

Ben Affleck escreveu:“Eu passei mais tempo trabalhando nesse filme do que em Batman ou os outros filmes da DC, o que para mim foi incrível. Eu não tenho nada contra filmes de super-heróis, mas me sinto nostálgico ao pensar no tipo de filme que fizemos em A Lei da Noite. Quando não estava vestindo uma capa e um uniforme, era com isso que queria passar meu tempo”.

Ben Affeck escreveu:"É uma daquelas coisas bem frustrantes, porque trabalhei muito em A Lei da Noite, levei um ano e meio para escrever o roteiro e finalizar o filme. Mas ninguém deu a mínima pra isso. Ninguém ficava 'Cadê o A Lei da Noite?' Mas com o Batman, eu só escuto: 'Cadê a porra do Batman?' E eu fico: 'Ei, eu estou trabalhando, me dê um tempo!"

Mel Gibson Confirms He Is In Talks With WB To Direct Suicide Squad 2

In March 2016, five full-months before its release, there was a report that Warner Bros. was already developing a Suicide Squad sequel. Typically, that's a sign of a very strong film. And while, yes, Suicide Squad did scoop up an impressive $745.6 million at the worldwide box office, most people — if they are being honest with themselves — wouldn't describe it as a "very strong film." As for film critics, they ripped it apart, with top critics giving it a miserable 19% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Even so, its healthy box office figures are more than enough reason for WB to proceed with a follow-up, but since director/screenwriter David Ayer is currently busy helming Gotham City Sirens — a spinoff movie featuring Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, presumably, teaming up with Poison Ivy and Catwoman — the studio is on the hunt for a new director.

On Wednesday, Mel Gibson became the first name attached to the gig. According to The Hollywood Reporter, WB is in "early talks" with the controversial director of Braveheart and Passion of the Christ about directing Suicide Squad 2. And hours later, while attending a screening of his Oscar-nominated film Hacksaw Ridge at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, Gibson confirmed the report.

During the Q&A session, the moderator asked, "So is this getting close to a deal or is it a first date?" To which Gibson replied, "It’s kind of a first date."

Meanwhile, Variety's Justin Kroll is reporting that Warner Bros. is also considering Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland), Daniel Espinosa (Safe House), and Jonathan Levine (Warm Bodies), but Gibson is the frontrunner and can have the job if he wants it.

"Couple updates on the SUICIDE SQUAD director search since I posted after a few calls," Kroll tweeted. "First if Mel wants it, it's his." He added, "Will and Mel actually wanted to do THE ACCOUNTANT years ago but old regime didn't want Mel but shows how much Mel want to work with Will. That said still ways away from decision on this, stay tuned."
