There were rumblings about Ben Affleck directing a Justice League film for Warner Bros., but it seems that those rumblings simply weren’t true.
According to 24H, Affleck said this about his involvement with the superhero project:
“I’m not working on the Justice League. One of the problems with entertainment web sites is that they need to fill pages, and that’s how rumours get started. Justice League sounds really exciting, but it’s not something I’m working on.”
Although it’s sad that Affleck won’t be working on the film, at least not right now, I’m excited that WB is serious about bringing the superheroes of the Justice League to the big screen. Hopefully, the film will premiere around 2015 and give The Avengers a run for its money.
