Ben Affleck says making “Justice League” was a major low point in his career, describing the reshoots as a profoundly negative experience. In interviews and a podcast appearance, he speaks about how the film’s production unfolded under changes at Warner Bros., and he portrays the overall process as distressing and “gross.”
Multiple outlets report that Affleck links his criticism to how the studio handled director Zack Snyder. Sources say Snyder paused work after his daughter’s death, and Warner Bros. later brought in Joss Whedon to oversee an overhaul during the reshoots. Affleck criticizes the way Warner Bros. used Snyder’s bereavement in connection with the transition, characterizing it as inappropriate. While outlets vary in wording, they agree that Affleck’s comments focus on the reshoots’ atmosphere, the director change, and Warner Bros.’ role in managing the situation during and after Snyder’s personal circumstances.
