Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill in “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” is a thing of the past.
Warner Bros. just announced that Affleck alone will star in the next “Batman” movie.
“We’re working with Ben Affleck on a standalone Batman movie,” said Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara at CinemaCon, the yearly gathering of theater owners in Las Vegas.
“Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” has been a box office hit, with approximately $800 million grossed to date and recording the highest opening weekend for Easter, with $27.7 million on Thursday night—despite dismal reviews and suffering a second week slide.
