Ben Affleck Calls 'Justice League' Shoot Lowest Point of His Career

Ben Affleck Calls 'Justice League' Shoot Lowest Point of His CareerPreviousNext

Actor-filmmaker Ben Affleck described working on the 2017 superhero film "Justice League" as the lowest point in his career. He cited personal struggles, the tragic death of director Zack Snyder's daughter, and conflicts between Warner Bros. and the filmmakers as key factors. After Snyder left the project, Joss Whedon oversaw reshoots that altered the film's tone. The movie underperformed at the box office, but Snyder's original version was later released on HBO Max to critical acclaim.
