The actor spoke to The New York Times in July of 2020 and said that he saw the new Batman script before he was cast in the role. He was told that the role would make him emotional.
“I showed somebody the Batman script,” Affleck told the publication. “They said, ‘I think the script is good. I also think you’ll drink yourself to death if you go through what you just went through again.'”
It looks like he will play a big part in the next sequel.
James Wan will be directing the movie, which will feature Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, and Amber Heard.
The film will be released in cinemas on 17 March, 2023.
