Ben Affleck maintains his unhappiness with Daredevil, and explains why he's far more confident about Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice...
With Gone Girl topping the box office this past weekend, Ben Affleck has another big movie hit under his belt. Add that to his pair of Oscars, and the fact that he's playing Batman in Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, and it's been a fairly hefty career turnaround for him.
Often cited as one of his weakest projects is the movie of Daredevil, although we maintain that there are real merits to the director's cut of the film. However, in a new interview with NPR, he was asked if he had regrets over Daredevil. And, in line with comments he's made in the past, Affleck admitted that he did.
"Indeed I have regrets about Daredevil," Told you. "I have regrets about all the movies that I don't think were executed properly," he said. "Look, if I thought we were remaking Daredevil, I'd be out there picketing myself. And that goes for other movies as well that I haven't been happy with."
He continued, saying that "I'm hard on myself and I have exacting standards and I want to do excellent work and I don't always succeed, but I think you have to start out with that drive."
He's more confident, as a consequence, with Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, noting that it was written by "Chris Terrio, who wrote Argo, who's not a comic guy. And it's directed by Zack Snyder, who's a incredibly magical sort of visual stylist who's steeped in the comic world. And you have this sandwich of talents. I felt very confident about it".
Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice arrives in cinemas in March 2016. Gone Girlis in cinemas now.
