We are less than a week from the mega announcements by Marvel Studios about their upcoming slate for feature films and streaming series. Meanwhile, on the other side of the hero’s pond is a mess known as DC. During the big WB presentation, they revealed nothing that we already didn’t know. What’s up with The Flash? Who is (if anyone) Superman? Is the Snyderverse still a thing? How many Batmen do we have?
All these questions are even more puzzling with this recent development. Apparently, Ben Affleck will be reprising his role once again in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. It was revealed via a post by Jason Momoa on Instagram. He shared that a studio tour accidentally came across that the Batman star was on the set for the upcoming film. You can check it out below!
Affleck’s role as Batman has been quite a roller coaster. We first saw him in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice followed by Justice League. From that point on he had decided to step away from the role. Only to later return for The Flash film. Now he is back once again for Aquaman. Who is in and who is out at DC is everyone’s guess.
