Affleck will do it again! Even before the release of Affleck's character as Batman, he had already agreed to play the role again in the next film.
The 42-year-old actor will be appearing as Bruce Wayne and Batman in the upcoming film Justice League Part One. The news was announced by Warner Bros. last October 15, Wednesday. Before that, Affleck will star as the superhero Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which will be released in March 2016.
Both Amy Adams and Henry Cavill will reprise their roles as Lois Lane and Clark Kent (Superman), respectively in the 2017 film.
Ben Affleck had been the subject of much criticism when he was first announced to play the character of Batman.
Affleck told Jimmy Fallon last month when the criticisms came, "I'm a big boy. They said just don't use the Internet for a couple of days... I handle s--t. I'm very tough. I saw the announcement, I look down on the first comment...the first one just goes, 'Nooooooooo!'"
Affleck has told Insidemovies.com last December 2013, that while he respects fans' "strongly held opinions", "I don't think projections about something that hasn't happened yet are all that meaningful. The actor has also put on 30 pounds of muscle for the role of Batman, a character played by successful actors such as Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Christian Bale.
The 42-year-old actor is also a film director, screenwriter and producer. Affleck has received two Academy Awards for writing and producing as well as three Golden Globe Awards for his work as a director, writer, and producer.
Affleck's latest movie, David Fincher's adaptation of Gone Girl, has earned him much praise by the critics. The Times, New York Magazine, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, all gave the actor two thumbs up for portraying his role remarkably.
