Ben Affleck has been officially replaced as director of The Batman after stepping down from the role.
His successor has been named as Cloverfield filmmaker Matt Reeves who directed sequel Dawn of the Planet of the Apes as well as the upcoming War for the Planet of the Apes.
Reeves’ War for the Planet of the Apes is released on 14 July.
Affleck dropped out of the role following increased reports that the project’s script was in trouble (something the actor himself grew frustrated by).
