In December 2022, as SMASH informed you, James Gunn had announced that he had talks with Benn Affleck, inviting him to direct some of the projects for episode 1: Gods and Monsters, so it was immediately thought that Affleck would direct The Brave and the Bold.
But the filmmaker behind Argo has already stated that he is not interested in returning to the DC Universe, as Affleck himself pointed out in an interview for The Hollywood Reporter.
“I wouldn’t direct something for [James] Gunn DC. Absolutely not”.
Affleck had plans to direct and star in The Batman movie, but the problems that arose with the filming of Justice League made him change his mind and this tape was taken by Matt Reeves.
All support for James Gunn
Although Affleck doesn’t want to direct anything in the DC Universe that both Peter Safran and James Gunn have drawn up, the actor made it clear that he will support Gunn in whatever he proposes.
“I have nothing against James Gunn. Nice guy, I’m sure he’ll do a great job”.
Affleck made it clear that his priority is to be with his family, as well as the projects in which he is involved, such as the movie Air, which will be released shortly.
“I just wouldn’t want to come in and lead the way they’re doing. I’m not interested in that”.
