Warner Bros. announced on Thursday, that Ben Affleck, the Oscar winner will be the new Batman, replacing Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne in the upcoming Man Of Steel sequel.
The 41-year-old actor will star alongside Henry Cavill in the movie that will bring Batman and Superman together for the first time on the cinema screen!
“He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can’t wait to work with him.” director Zack Snyder said.
This movie is going to be a big superhit as its presenting two superheroes together. “Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry’s Superman,” said the director.
The film is set to go into production in 2014 with a release date of July 17, 2015. Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, and Diane Lane are all confirmed to return for the film.
