Ben Affleck Says ‘Justice League’ Was A “Low Point” In His Career

Ben Affleck has revealed that the challenging experience of reshooting "Justice League" was the low point of his career. The filmmaker and former Batman spoke about the contentious process during a podcast interview on Monday. Director Zack Snyder, who directed Affleck in his debut as Bruce Wayne/Batman in "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice," departed from "Justice League" due to disagreements and the untimely death of his daughter.

The reshoots were conducted by Joss Whedon, resulting in a film that received mixed reviews and financial disappointment. Affleck also mentioned that the film's failure may have contributed to the collapse of his proposed Batman solo film, which eventually led to Matt Reeves' "The Batman." Affleck praised Snyder for eventually releasing an extended version of "Justice League," the so-called "Snyder Cut," and expressed his satisfaction that the filmmaker received the due recognition for his work.
