Speaking to a crowd of about 6,500 fans at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, Affleck unequivocally assured the crowd that he will still star in The Batman.
Ben Affleck has dismissed rumors that he will hang up his cape before the next Batman film, for which he recently ceded directing responsibilities.
The report threatened to overshadow Warner’s flashy Hall H presentation on Saturday, which was focused on hyping the studio’s big superhero mashup film Justice League, which will be released in November.
On Friday, the Hollywood Reporter said Warner Bros was working on plans to “usher out Affleck’s Batman gracefully” and suggested that it might happen before The Batman is made.
