Ben Affleck Reflects on Justice League's Production as the Lowest Point of His Career

IGN • • entertainment

Key Points:

  • Ben Affleck criticized Warner Bros. for their handling of Justice League, calling it the lowest point of his career and describing the production experience as extremely negative.
  • Affleck revealed that conflicts between the studio and director Zack Snyder, combined with personal tragedies and studio interference, heavily impacted the film's production and tone.
  • After Snyder left the project due to his daughter's suicide, Joss Whedon was brought in for reshoots that altered the movie significantly, amid allegations of mistreatment of actors and a toxic environment.
  • Affleck's struggles during this period, including a divorce and alcoholism, contributed to his decision to step away from directing and starring in future Batman films, passing the role to Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson.
  • Despite Snyder expressing regret from a former WB executive and fan hopes for a completed Snyder vision, the chaotic production history makes another Justice League movie unlikely.
