It’s no secret that Ben Affleck didn’t have the best time working on Justice League, we’ve know that for a while now. But it turns out that it was worse than we originally thought.
Speaking to the LA Times in a recent interview, the actor had the following to share:
It was really Justice League that was the nadir for me. That was a bad experience because of a confluence of things: my own life, my divorce, being away too much, the competing agendas and then [director] Zack [Snyder]’s personal tragedy [Snyder’s daughter Autumn died by suicide in 2017] and the reshooting. It just was the worst experience. It was awful. It was everything that I didn’t like about this. That became the moment where I said, “I’m not doing this anymore.” It’s not even about, like, “Justice League” was so bad. Because it could have been anything.
Thankfully, it sounds like Ben Affleck is in a much better place these days than he was while making Justice League and we’re happy he’ll get to return as Batman once more in The Flash to give the character the sendoff he deserves.
