Ben Affleck Turned Down 'Star Wars' for 'Batman v Superman'
Very little has been dished out regarding information on Disney's early plans for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The only director not-to-be that we've learned of is Brad Bird, who was at the time busy in post-production on Tomorrowland.
Recently, though, Ben Affleck was questioned on that particular topic, of whether he ever had involvement or been asked to take on a role for the Star Wars film.
"Well, it wouldn’t be polite to talk about the jobs you turn down, but I had a lot of offers. It’s like, forks in the road that are, like, legitimate different paths. Boy, my life’s going to be really different if I go this way, or do Batman, or I do this other…iconic thing."
It's a cryptic response, but we can pretty confidently examine that Affleck was indeed approached for Star Wars. In the end, he's landed a Batman directing role in the future, and is set up for years to come.
