Recent reports had Warner Bros. looking at Ben Affleck to helm a Justice League film, but the actor has now confirmed he’s not involved.

While speaking with the Canadian Press, Affleck confirmed that he is not involved with the Justice League film in any way, despite earlier reports that he was being eyed by Warner Bros. to bring the DC Comic heroes film to the big screen.

Ben Affleck on the Justice League reports:

“I’m not working on the Justice League. One of the problems with entertainment web sites is that they need to fill pages, and that’s how rumours get started. Justice League sounds really exciting, but it’s not something I’m working on.”

We can’t say we’re surprised, although, Affleck’s recent films have been very well received. Looks like Warner Bros. is still on the lookout for a director who is up for the monumental challenge that is bringing the Justice League to the big screen.

With Affleck now out of the race, who do you think Warner Bros. should get to direct the Justice League film?
