If the DCEU lost Affleck, it would be a major setback, causing WB to recast after multiple appearances.
As Hughes says, however, there’s a better chance Affleck stays than not, so in the long run, this is most likely nothing to worry about.
Fans are understandably worried about the DCEU’s future, but there are no real reasons to fret just yet.
Affleck’s primary concern was that pulling double duty as director and star would spread himself too thin, and The Batman would then not be up to his standards.
