Simmons essentially confirmed that he’ll be back for the upcoming solo Batman movie, tentatively set for a 2019 release with Affleck both starring and sitting in the director’s chair.
Affleck is reprising his Batman role for that film with Simmons set to make his debut as Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon.
Academy Award winners Ben Affleck and J.K. Simmons both headline next month’s The Accountant, Gavin O’Connor’s dramatic thriller about an autistic math savant whose investigation in a company’s finances soon turns deadly.
When a reporter asked about how Batman might fare against his character from The Accountant, however, Affleck knew exactly what to say.
