Some of the more wild rumors surrounding Jon Hamm playing Batman claimed that he was actively trying to steal the role from Ben Affleck, which seems to be untrue.
Matt Reeves’ The Batman more than likely won’t be bringing Ben Affleck back to reprise the role and plenty of other names have been mentioned like Jon Hamm, Jake Gyllenhaal, and most recently Kit Harrington.
In a new interview, Jon Hamm was asked about the possibility of playing Batman in the future.
Despite being rumored to take on the role of Batman over the years, actor Jon Hamm admits that he’s never been officially approached and asked to play the Caped Crusader.
