Ben Affleck denies Batman: “One wants to do something interesting instead of wearing a rubber suit”

Ben Affleck, Always a hilarious celebrity to interview, she spoke uncensored about her life and career, including her “worst experience” never had in the second, in a new cover story for theHollywood Reporters.

Throughout the interview, Affleck spoke colorfully about various topics, including his “excellent Boston skill” at parking at S, his “exclusive group of celebrities on Wordle,” why he considers golf the version meth sport and the fact that he actually “had a good time at the Grammys,” thank you very much.

But he was particularly fervent when he talked about the role of Batman, stating that participating in DC Comics films “became quite repetitive and less interesting” over the course of the several films in which he has appeared. “And by the way, I like a lot of the things we’ve done, especially the first one, Batman v Superman» said Affleck.

Perhaps predictably, it was the notorious Justice League of 2017 to make him never want to repeat the experience. “You could have a seminar on all the reasons why that’s not how it’s done. From the production at bad decisions and athorrible personal tragedyto end up with the worst bad taste in my mouth I’ve ever experienced», said Affleck about the production, which he took over Joss Whedon to direct after the suicide of the original director’s daughter Zack Snyder in 2017.

The Oscar winner, who in the past has expressed his doubts about the interpretation of the caped crusader, then gave up directing his film on Batman: «Justice League made me say, “I’m calling out. I don’t want to do any of this anymore. I’m not fit,” Affleck said. “It was the worst experience I’ve ever had in an industry that is full of crap experiences. She broke my heart.”

Affleck explained that the whole thing was so exhausting which has «started a drinking too much», to then add: «I was back at the hotel in London, either that or I’d throw myself out the window. And I thought, “This is not the life I want. My children are not here. I am unhappy”. One wants to go to work and find something interesting to hold on to instead of wearing a rubber suit, and most of the time you’re standing in front of your computer screen saying, “If this nuclear waste is released, we…” All right. I don’t treat him dismissively or belittle him, but I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t find him creatively satisfying.”

However, Affleck has reappeared as the character in The Flashwhich has as its protagonist Ezra Miller and will hit theaters in June. “I finally figured out how to play that character [Batman] and I succeeded in great The Flash» said Affleck. “For the five minutes I appear, it’s pretty awesome.” But don’t bet on him to save the day in any future projects. “I wouldn’t direct something for DC’s James Gunn. Absolutely not,” said the actor questioned by theHollywood Reporters. “I have nothing against James Gunn. He is a good person and he will surely do a great job. I just don’t want to start directing the way they’re doing.”
