Ben Affleck now executive producer for ‘Justice League’
Warner Bros has made change to the Justice League braintrust, now giving Ben Affleck the role of executive producer as well his co-starring role as Batman/Bruce Wayne.
The studio is likely trying to tap into the writing-directing efforts Gone Baby Gone, The Town and Argo, the latter of which won the Best Picture Oscar for Warner Bros
Deadline notes that “I’m told that Affleck is doing this to be supportive of Snyder, with whom he worked well on Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, which grossed $864 million worldwide despite not being beloved by the critics. Warner Bros is still figuring out its stylistic superhero mojo, and Affleck will help. Justice League is slotted for a November 17, 2017 release, and Affleck’s Batman is expected to be paired alongside Henry Cavill’s Superman, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, and likely Jason Momoa’s Aquaman.”
