Netflix is keeping plot details under wraps for now, but we know this project will revolve around a complex kidnapping plot. Affleck is coming on board as a director, while Connor McIntyre wrote the script with revisions by Billy Ray.

Affleck and Damon have been friends since their childhood years, and they gained recognition after winning an Oscar for best original screenplay for Good Will Hunting. They’ve collaborated on multiple occasions in the years to come, and founded their own independent film company, Artists Equity, in 2022.

Despite working together for years, last year’s Air was Damon’s first film directed by Affleck – and he loved every second of it.

“Because we have known each other for so long, I’m very used to creative problem-solving with him. If one of us comes up with a terrible idea, we will say it. Your feelings aren’t hurt. There’s always respect, and we move on to the next idea,” Damon told Vanity Fair.

Aquaman himself spilled the news on social media, sharing a photo that shows him having the time of his life with Affleck behind the scenes of their upcoming film.

“REUNITED bruce and arthur. love u and miss u Ben WB studio tours just explored the backlot alright. busted on set all great things coming AQUAMAN 2 all my aloha j,” wrote Momoa on Instagram.

It’s been five years since the last time Affleck played the iconic superhero. He made his debut in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and went on to reprise the role in the 2017 Justice League, also starring Momoa as Aquaman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg.

Affleck already filmed his scenes as the Batman for the upcoming film The Flash, where he’ll share the iconic role with Michael Keaton. This film is set to premiere on June 23, 2023, and it will be preceded by Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom on March 17, 2023.

The nuptials mark a significant point for the pair whose love affair initially began back in the 2000s. The actors got to know each other in 2001 on the set of their doomed film Gigli, but the “On the Floor” singer was still married to her second husband, Cris Judd, at the time. Following her divorce, Lopez and Affleck began a relationship of their own and soon became Hollywood’s “it” couple.

Although it led to an engagement, Bennifer called time on their two-year relationship before heading down the aisle. Jennifer went on to marry singer Marc Anthony, which whom she has two children; while the Argo actor wed fellow star, Jennifer Garner, and had three kids.

Having always stayed in touch, Ben and Jen rekindled their romance in April 2021, following their respective divorces. They announced their engagement the next April and have made sure that this one reached fruition!

The ceremony took place in Las Vegas with the Grammy winner said to have changed her legal name to Affleck. She revealed on her blog that she wore a dress from an old movie and that the lovebirds were surrounded by their children.

“We did it,” wrote the singer. ”Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient. Exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world.”

Hypnotic tells the story of a detective who’s trying to solve a mystery that involves his missing daughter, a secret government program, and a string of impossible high-end heists. Rodriguez wrote the script alongside Max Borenstein, and he’ll be in charge of directing it.

Hollywood studio Solstice will produce this project alongside Studio 8. Their CEO Jeff Robinov had a chance to work with Affleck on his previous movies The Town and Argo, and he’s certain his collaboration with Rodriguez will lead to something truly extraordinary.

“It’s very meaningful to be collaborating with Ben again on this uniquely riveting suspense thriller, and I know he and Robert will make a terrific film together,” said Robinov in a statement.

Ben Affleck most recently starred in Triple Frontier alongside Oscar Isaac and Charlie Hunnam. We’ll next get to see him in sports drama The Way Back and crime mystery The Last Thing He Wanted.

The 46-year-old actor will direct and star in the true-life War World II story Ghost Army.

The news was confirmed by the studio Tuesday. 

The film is based on the book The Ghost Army of World War II by Rick Beyer and Elizabeth Sayles, as well as the documentary Ghost Army. It follows a squadron of recruits who were tasked with deceiving the Nazis in creative ways to make them think that the US had larger troop numbers than it actually did, or that armies were in certain positions when in actuality no armies were even close. Armed with inflatable tanks and sound-effects records, their deceptions saved countless lives.

True Detective creator, Nic Pizzolatto, has penned the latest version of the script from an earlier version by Henry Gayden (Shazam!). According to Variety, Affleck is expected to rework the screenplay once more. 

Affleck’s more recent credit as a director is in 2016’s period gangster drama for Warner Bros., Live by Night. His most recent acting gig was the action thriller Triple Frontier.

When Ben Affleck heard about a young Zimbabwean refugee battling cancer who was a huge fan of the dark knight, the Justice League actor decided to have Batman pay Mukuta a visit.

After having enthusiastically expressed his love of the superhero, the staff at Hospice Atlanta, where the 11-year-old is receiving care for the terminal illness, put out a Bat Signal.

And Batman obliged.

Ben, who is currently in Hawaii, took a break from his filming schedule on Triple Frontier to have a FaceTime conversation with Mukuta.

And if talking to Batman wasn’t enough, the father of 3 also arranged for Mukuta’s mom to fly from Zimbabwe to be with her son.

The heroic gesture also caught the attention of Blood Fest actor who remarked on Twitter that not all superheroes wear capes:

Not all heroes wear capes. Though, coincidentally, some do. Bravo, @BenAffleck. And continued prayers for Mukuta. https://t.co/ZWTpzDqsM2

We can’t claim that Ben saved the day, but we’re pretty sure that he made Mukuta’s.
