Aquaman 2: is the return of Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne inevitable? The image seems to confirm this!


It appears that Jason Momoa accidentally revealed Batfleck’s return in Aquaman 2!

Aquaman 2: It seems that Jason Momoa has wrongly disclosed the presence of Ben Affleck and his controversial Batfleck in the sea hero film played by the Hawaiian actor starting in 2017. This news, despite contrasts with the fact that Affleck has several times said he would not be returning to the role, fills many fans with glee. In fact, after the first controversial reactions to it, Affleck was finally loved for playing the role of him. A return of him, after the recent pleasant events in his life such as his marriage to girlfriend J.Lo, brings Big Ben back to the Hollywood scene after a few dark years.

Thanks to Jason Momoa’s interpretation, Aquaman has begun to occupy a crucial role in DC storytelling.

Of course, Arthur Curry will return as Aquaman for the next film, but the return of the Batfleck would also be foreseeable. Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight could also return in The Flash movie, so it could appear in more than one movie in 2023. A post in the company of Momoa seems to confirm Ben’s presence in the next episode of the successful DC franchise.

The caption makes clear the intentions of Momoa, who failed to keep the big comeback hidden for long. “We tried to keep it a secret,” Momoa says, and the post is presented with a cheering “Bruce and Arthur reunited”. Affleck’s involvement in the project, however, hasn’t been confirmed by either Warner Bros. or DC Films. It had been hinted that Batman’s last appearance as Ben Affleck would be for The Flash 2, especially with the return of Tim Burton’s Masked Knight, played by Michael Keaton.

Warner Bros. shared revealing material of the four films of the Extended Universe of DC that arrive this year

2022 will be one of the best for the DC Extended Universe and Warner Bros. four films will arrive this year: The Batman, Black Adam, The Flash, and Aquaman and the lost kingdom; whose unpublished advances were gathered in a new promotional video entitled “The world needs heroes”. The never-before-seen scenes thrilled comic book fans already gearing up for releases scheduled for the coming months. Are you ready for what’s to come?

The teaser began with scenes from the film about The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson since it will be the first release of the DC calendar in the cinema. In addition, and among the most impressive, clips of Black Adam were revealed, with Dwayne Johnson at the head of an amazing cast, and The Flash, two projects that have kept a good dose of secrecy so as not to spoil the excitement.

The Justice Society of America (Justice Society of America) also appears for the first time in the live-action format and is made up of Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell), and the renowned actor Pierce Brosnan in the role of Doctor Fate, one of the founders of this famous heroic group in the original DC Comics.

About Ezra Miller’s solo movie, the actor was seen in his new costume for this story which will be based on the Flashpoint arc, temporary chaos by Barry Allen when he tries to save his mother from death. You can hear the voice of Michael Keaton, who will have a cameo as Batman, and other characters such as the different versions of Barry and Supergirl (Sasha Calle) also appear.

The actor’s cameo in “The Flash” may not be his last appearance in the DC Extended Universe.

Ben Affleck‘s future is very uncertain and nothing is said about his permanence in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). After the failure of Justice League (Justice League), the actor stepped aside from the role and did not return until Zack Snyder decided to launch the version that had never been able to reach the cinema when Joss Whedon took his place in the chair of the director. Likewise, it was revealed that he would also return to be the Gotham vigilante for The Flash, the film with Ezra Miller. Has he really been left out of the movies?

Amidst the speculation, Miller decided to put the icing on the cake with a bizarre social media post from him. Regarding the release of his solo film this year, it was reported that Affleck would appear for the last time as the Knight of the night in this film and would not return, to which the interpreter of Barry Allen reacted mockingly: he wrote some ” Ha ha ha” on this news. This leads us to think that it would be a very important clue and perhaps… a spoiler.

Andy Muschietti (behind the two installments of It) will direct the new cinematographic bet focused on the most famous speedster of DC Comics, where such important facts of the comics as the Flashpoint will be addressed. As you remember, this known event occurs after the Flash interferes with reality and causes great changes in the universe of superheroes and villains.

In addition to Ezra Miller, other stars that will take place on the screen will be Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton, two interpreters of Batman in the movies. If the rumors about Affleck’s departure are false, that would indicate that more of him will be seen in the following projects that involve these characters in live-action. 

On the other hand, the introduction of Robert Pattinson in the same role puts pressure on the change of star, although nothing is ruled out from the moment it is confirmed that different versions of the superhero can coexist thanks to Allen.

The Flash will be a singular event in the DCEU

Certainly, The Flash is one of the projects that has taken the longest to reach the big screen. Its development dates back several years and did not materialize as the solid idea of ​​a project until 2014, although sometime later, it was aligned as an integrated narrative to the DCEU. Various directors were on board the production such as Seth Grahame-Smith, Rick Famuyiwa, John Francis Daley, and Jonathan Goldstein, but finally left it due to creative differences.

The last to be chosen was Muschietti and filming took place between April and October 2021, due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The main premise is how Barry Allen goes back in time to prevent the murder of his mother and unleashes a series of consequences in the timeline in his multiple attempts to achieve his mission. Warner Bros. scheduled the premiere for November 4, 2022, and, to date, there are no major changes regarding the film schedule.
