Dopo l’annuncio che Micheal Keaton avrebbe vestito ancora i panni di Batman/Bruce Wayne, per il prossimo film dedicato a The Flash e ispirato alla storyline Flashpoint, che prevede un viaggio nel tempo e universi alternativi, ora la Warner ha comunicato che Andy Muschietti (IT), il regista del film, avrà a disposizione anche Ben Affleck nello stesso ruolo.
Muschietti ha spiegato il perchè: “His Batman has a dichotomy that is very strong which is his masculinity—because of the way he looks, and the imposing figure that he has, and his jawline —but he’s also very vulnerable. He knows how to deliver from the inside out, that vulnerability. He just needs a story that allows him to bring that contrast, that balance.”
“He’s a very substantial part of the emotional impact of the movie. The interaction and relationship between Barry and Affleck’s Wayne will bring an emotional level that we haven’t seen before. It’s Barry’s movie, it’s Barry’s story, but their characters are more related than we think. They both lost their mothers to murder, and that’s one of the emotional vessels of the movie. That’s where the Affleck Batman kicks in.”
Ezra Miller ovviamente sarà Barry Allen – Flash.
Tutto questo senza contare che la Warner lancerà presto il suo nuovo The Batman, interpretato da Robert Pattinson per la regia di Matt Reeves.
