Ben Affleck's solo Batman film is officially a go
It's been 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:rumoured and hinted at for a very long time but a Batman standalo൩ne movie has finally beeღn confirmed, with Ben Affleck himself attached to direct.
Warner Bros. made the announcemen🧸t at their CinemaCon panel in Las Vegas (via ), with CEO Kevin Tsujihara noting that "we’re excited to be working with Ben Affleck on a standalone 🍌Batman film" while touting DC's upcoming slate.
It recently came to light that 澳洲幸运🦩5开奖号码历史查询:Affleck has already written a script with Geoff Johns, which made this announcement a matter of when as oppoಞsed to if. Affleck was very convincing as a grizzled Dark Knight in Batman v Superman (even though I didn't much like that his Batman was a xenophobic murderer!), and I'm reꦺally interested to see what story they choose to tell.
A film centred on a pre-澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dawn of Justice Batman co🍨uld pay dividends, while it would also be interesting to pick up with the character following the events of Batman v Superman...maybe they can even have the best of both worlds?
In any case, we probably won't be getting any news of that ilk for a while yet; in addition to filming Justice League: Part 1𒀰, Affleck is currently hard at work finishing his next feature Live by Night which won't be in cinemas until October 2017. Warner Bros. have earmarked October 5, 2018 and November 1, 2019 as possible future release dates, so there's a good chance that's when we'll be seeing this one.
Directed by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder and starring Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Diane Lane, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Laurence Fishburne, and Amy Adꦏams, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice wil♊l arrive in UK and US cinemas now.
