News culture A legendary actor takes over the role of Batman in Aquaman 2
It’s a return that we didn’t expect: after making the news in a Micromania, Ben Affleck formalizes his return to a cult role.
The revelation is made on instagram: Ben Affleck will resume his role as Batman in the second part of the adventures of Aquaman. “Bruce and Arthur reunited”, is it inscribed in the caption of a photograph bringing together the actor and Jason Momoa. If Affleck was expected to appear in the next Flash feature film in 2023, no one expected to see him postpone the costume due to his complicated experience with the Justice League: “I didn’t like being there. I didn’t think it was interesting. And then really awful things happened. But that’s when I was like, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore. “” (Source: IGN). It remains to be seen how his role will fit into the 13th feature film in the DC Cinematic Universe.
However, it should be an additional scene, the principal shooting having already been completed for a long time. Clarification that the formalization is somewhat forced: Momoa was indeed surprised shooting scenes for Aquaman in the company of his new colleague by a bus of tourists who was just passing through the studios of Warner Bros.
When is it coming out?
Announced in December 2018, Aquaman 2 is scheduled for release on the big screen on 17 mars 2023. The film is set after the defeat of Steppenwolf, a fallen general of the supervillain Darkseid’s legions. This New God was seen in the Snyder’s Cut of the film Justice League directed by Zack Snyder (Watchmen, Rebel Moon). Aquaman will team up with an unlikely ally in order to protect his kingdom as well as planet Earth. The King of the Atlanteans will join forces with his half-brother Ocean Master and face Black Manta, more determined and powerful than ever.
