Gunn Responds To Affleck Directing The Brave And The Bold (Kind Of)

:0:0

Following recent rumors of Ben Affleck directing Batman: The Brave and The Bold, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn responds to the reports. A new Batman reboot is in the works at DC Studios, as the DCEU is reaching its end this year. While Ben Affleck will appear in The Flash movie, a new Dark Knight will take over for him in the DC Universe. Gunn and Peter Safran announced in January of this year that The Brave and The Bold is one of their major DC films in the works. While it appears Affleck won't be donning the costume again, Gunn has confirmed that they are hoping to have him direct a DC Universe project.
With Gunn and Affleck looking for a project that fits the former Dark Knight, many have wondered if The Brave and The Bold could be an option. A recent rumor surfaced online that Affleck is reportedly being eyed to helm the new Batman movie.
While Gunn has addressed several rumors before, the DC Studios co-head rightfully called out a user that referred to him as a liar if the rumors are true. Given that it was previously thought that Affleck would not, in fact, direct The Brave and The Bold, the filmmaker addressed that he's always worked hard to never lie to the fans, and he never plans to. Gunn stressed that he could always change his mind on something, which could including Affleck being hired for The Brave and The Bold, without being a liar. Gunn made this response due to a Twitter thread that had different and baseless accusations by a user, but the logic, of course, could apply to other decisions as well.
