Most actors say pretty much the same thing when asked how they think another actor will do in a role, but not Vin Diesel! While he does ultimately seem to come down in favor of Ben Affleck as Batman, In an interview with Clevver Movies the
Guardians Of The Galaxy star doesn't mince words when asked his opinion on the matter -- he couldn't care less!
"I don't give a f**k about Batman," he said.
"Or who plays Batman." Pretty cut and dry -- although Diesel might just have become a bit jaded by the constant media frenzy over the casting, as he then calls for the fans who have been left...less than pleased about Affleck's casting to cut him some slack.
"Let him live is my motto… let him live. Let Warner Bros. hire whoever they want, let Ben do whatever he wants. He got an Oscar, give him some credit. Leave him alone." In the above vid, Diesel's
Riddick co-star Katee Sackhoff is also asked for her thoughts, and she's a lot more positive! She's also asked about recently putting her name forward to play Harley Quinn in a possible future Batman movie.
