Warner Bros. Ups Ben Affleck To JUSTICE LEAGUE Executive Producer To "Support" Zack Snyder
There's been a shake up behind the scenes of Justice League as Ben Affleck has been upped to executive producer on the movie in order to seemingly help steer the movie in the right direction...
Deadline reports that Warner Bros. has made a change to what they describe as the "Justice League braintrust" by giving Ben Affleck an executive producer credit. According to the trade, he will "work with director Zack Snyder and screenwriter Chris Terrio behind the scenes to make the film the best it can be." Does this show a lack of confidence in the Batman v Superman helmer's abilities?
That would be jumping to conclusions, but it's clear that Warner Bros. want Affleck to bring to the table the same kind of expert storytelling abilities as he did with the likes of Argo and The Town. However, before you start imagine the actor/director shoving Snyder out of his director's chair, the trade is quick to point out that, "Affleck is doing this to be supportive of Snyder, with whom he worked well on Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice." It seems like they simply want his assistance in figuring out the best approach to getting this world right, something which makes sense considering the fact that he's working with Geoff Johns on a solo Batman movie.
