The MCU May Nab One of Zack Snyder’s Justice League Actors

A Zack Snyder’s Justice League actor may join the MCU, but what Marvel character could they play if this latest rumor is accurate?

The MCU May Nab One of Zack Snyder's Justice League Actors

Highlights

  • Warner Bros. dumped DCEU for DCU projects to replicate MCU success after Snyder's DCEU failed.
  • Ben Affleck, who previously played Daredevil, may find a new home in Marvel.
  • Fans of Affleck's Batman may not be happy, but his potential move to the MCU could be a smart career move.

A Zack Snyder's Justice League actor may find a new home at the MCU now that the DCEU is officially defunct, and this particular actor already has experience playing a Marvel character.

Snyder's DCEU was intended to involve a multi-film storyline featuring Henry Cavill's Superman, Ben Affleck's Batman, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, Ezra Miller's The Flash, Jason Momoa's Aquaman, and several other DC characters. While a handful of those films were produced, the underwhelming box office performance and mixed reception to the DCEU prompted Warner Bros. to abandon Snyder's planned story arc and eventually dump the DCEU altogether by starting fresh with James Gunn's upcoming DCU projects, hoping to find similar success as the MCU. Now, one of those Justice League actors is rumored to be eyed by the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Daniel Richtman reports that Affleck has been in talks with Marvel Studios to join the MCU. While Affleck famously played Daredevil in the eponymous character's 2003 feature film, Ritchman says he won't reprise his role as the Man without Fear in Deadpool and Wolverine, which will feature several characters from Marvel movies that pre-date the MCU. Details on what MCU project or role Affleck would potentially take on were not provided, but it would reportedly be a different Marvel character.

Online reports claimed Affleck was spotted on the Deadpool and Wolverine set last summer, sparking rumors that his version of Daredevil would be one of the film's many cameos. Considering Jennifer Garner's Elektra reportedly joined the Deadpool 3 cast, an appearance by Affleck's Daredevil wouldn't be far-fetched. Of course, Affleck's brief time as the Devil of Hell's Kitchen was not well-received. Even Charlie Cox, who plays the character in the MCU, admitted he is not a fan of Affleck's Daredevil movie. So, Affleck may have no interest in revisiting the character.

DCEU fans who want Warner Bros. to produce Affleck's canceled Batman movie may not be thrilled by the idea of the actor moving on to the MCU. However, Warner Bros. has decided to move on, and it's not unreasonable for Affleck to at least hear what Marvel Studios may have to offer. Although the DCEU has its fair share of critics, Affleck's performance as Batman was generally well-received, and he's also proven himself to be a talented actor in other roles. So, the MCU would be lucky to have Affleck.

Still, Affleck's time as Batman was reportedly difficult, so he may not want to try a third attempt at playing a comic book character. Of course, Marvel Studios could offer Affleck a villain or civilian role, meaning he likely wouldn't have to don another costume. This would be a change of pace for Affleck, at least as far as his comic book roles go, and might be enough to entice him to the MCU. Still, this rumor should be taken as such until official sources confirm or deny the news.
