"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" lead star Ben Affleck, who plays the role of Batman/Dark Knight will reportedly direct a standalone film for Warner Bros.
According to Latino Review, there are rumors that Affleck has been tapped to direct a Batman solo film that will be released in the United States on November 2018. The publication also noted that Chris Terrio has already been tasked to pen the script for the movie. Affleck's film may also be called "The Batman."
Meanwhile, this report came after "Dawn of Justice" star Jesse Eisenberg, who plays the role of Lex Luthor, praised Terrio for his work on the film.
During a recent interview with MTV News, Eisenberg said that he was pleased with how Terrio made his character come to life. At that time, the actor also called Terrio a phenomenal writer.
Eisenberg added that he loved how Terrio was able to show the other side of Lex's persona by making him an emotional character despite his villainous exterior.
As of late, Affleck has not confirmed or denied the reports that he will be directing "The Batman." However, if the film were to push through and if it will be released in November, "The Batman" will become the first Batman movie that will premiere outside of the summer movie season.
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" stars Henry Cavill as Super Man, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Mamoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash and more. The film will be released in Mar. 26, 2016.
