RUMOR: Ben Affleck Apparently Suffers Leg Injury; BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN Production Delayed?
There's no word on whether it will have an impact on the July 2015 release date, but a new report claims that Ben Affleck has sustained a serious enough leg injury to delay the start of production on Batman Vs. Superman until March. Hit the jump for further details!
According to Batman-News, sources tell them that Ben Affleck has suffered a leg injury, resulting in Batman vs. Superman production being pushed back by six weeks. Crew members were apparently told about this a few days ago, and were forewarned that they will be on hiatus for around a month as a result. Despite the fact that Affleck was spotted walking around LA with his family earlier this week, the site seems to have been shown material to support these claims, but warn caution in case it turns out to be somehow inaccurate. If filming is indeed delayed, a March start date now seems more likely. Sound off with your thoughts on this news in the usual place!
