Should the Star Wars actor board the project he is set to star opposite Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Killing Eve star Jodie Comer. 

Ridley Scott is directing the epic tale set in 14th century France from a screenplay adaptation by Damon and Ben Affleck with Nicole Holofcener. 

The film, a story of betrayal and justice, is told from three points of view — two knights (Driver and Damon) whose bond is tested and a young woman (Comer), is forced to navigate the brutal and oppressive culture of the era in order to survive.

Should Disney and Fox green light the period drama, it should begin production in early 2020.

The 46-year-old actor has been set to direct true-life War World II story Ghost Army for Universal Pictures. 

The studio, which announced the news Tuesday, also confirmed that Affleck will also star in the feature based on the book The Ghost Army of World War II by Rick Beyer and Elizabeth Sayles, as well as the documentary Ghost Army. 

The story follows a squadron of American soldiers 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, it is said that their deceptions saved countless lives.

The latest version of the script was penned by True Detective scribe, Nic Pizzolatto, who reworked 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 director is 2016’s period gangster drama for Warner Bros., Live by Night.

In order to satisfy everyone’s curiosity, Affleck decided to explain why he quit Batman in a recent interview. Speaking with IGN, the “Argo” star said that he wasn’t happy with the script for the movie and that he wasn’t “excited” by the version of the movie he supposed to do.

“That was part of the problem,” said Affleck. “We worked on the script, I was trying to figure out how to crack it, and I was never happy enough with it where I thought it was worth going out and making it because I just didn’t want to do a version that I wasn’t really excited by, so I still don’t know.”

After playing Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, Ben Affleck was supposed to write, direct, and star in the Batman standalone movie. He ended up handing over the directorial duties to Matt Reeves in 2017, in order to focus more on the role. However, in January 2019, Affleck confirmed that he is leaving the project altogether, as Reeves is looking to cast a younger version of Bruce Wayne and tell the story of the early days of his transition to Batman.

Now, however, it appears that there is no doubt we will get a new Caped Crusader in future movies.

Warner Bros. recently revealed that the upcoming Batman stand-alone movie, directed by Matt Reeves, is scheduled for release on June 25th, 2021.

Shortly after the announcement, Affleck went to social media, and said that he is excited to see Reeves’ vision “come to life.”

Deadline later confirmed that this tweet confirmed that the actor won’t be returning to his role. According to magazine’s sources, the upcoming Batman movie will focus on younger version of the character.

Ben Affleck made his debut as Batman in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and then reprised the role in Suicide Squad and Justice League. He was originally attached as a star, writer, and director of a standalone Batman movie, but ended up handing over the writing and directorial duties to Matt Reeves in February 2017.

Affleck isn’t the only actor that is leaving DC Extended Universe, with Henry Cavill hinting late last year that his stint as Superman might be over as well. It remains unclear what will happen with the rest of the Justice League core, which includes Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as Flash, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg.
