Matt Damon Would Be Up To Play A DC Comics Hero Or Villain Under Ben Affleck's Direction

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are Hollywood's greatest dynamic duo, and ever since Ben Affleck signed on to don the Dark Knight's cape and cowl for the DC Film Universe, fans have been wondering just how soon will it be until he brings in his longtime friend, Matt Damon, into the would of DC heroes. Well, it looks like Matt Damon is finally ready for the capes and tights, and all he needs is for Ben to give him the right role. "If he (Ben) was directing me, I’d jump on it in a New York minute," Damon told the Irish Examiner. "I’d love to work with Ben. The problem with Ben is every time he directs a movie, he gives himself the best role in it, so until he’s willing to give up the best role to one of his friends, we’re not going to get on with it."

As of now, the only film Affleck is directing is the untitled Batman film that he's co-writing with Geoff Johns, so if Damon is eager to work under Affleck's direction, it's more than likely going to be for a Batman film. It would be great to see Matt Damon join the DC Film Universe, possibly as Hush or any other of Batman's many villains. Are you excited at the possibilty of seeing Matt Damon join Ben Affleck in a DC film?

@KikinGonzalez -

Also in b4 everyone says "Hush" as usual.

Am I the only one who can't see Damon in a CBM?

Kr08 - 7/12/2016, 4:07 AM

@MattBellissimo - If Damon is going to be in a CBM with Affleck, he has to be opposite of him. That way they can challenge each other. Hush would be the perfect choice

MattBellissimo - 7/12/2016, 4:27 AM

@Kr08 - I dunno, maybe I've just seen him in too many action hero roles to picture him in a a villainous CBM role.

Spider2YBanana - 7/12/2016, 4:31 AM

It'd be great to see him do a comic book movie.

SuperCat - 7/12/2016, 4:33 AM

He'd make a good villain. Maybe Clayface.

CAPTAINPINKEYE - 7/12/2016, 5:35 AM

@SuperCat - this is a funny song. The build up. The amount of production they put in something so stupid. Was laughing from start to finish. Did you see the follow up song with " I F#$KED BEN AFLECK"?

SuperCat - 7/12/2016, 6:23 AM

@CAPTAINPINKEYE - I haven't seen either. This clip looks funny as hell. Need to check them both out on youtube.

Earthbound - 7/12/2016, 4:36 AM

Matt Damon - Hush
Jon Hamm - Two-Face
Kate Beckinsale - Catwoman
Jessica Chastain - Poison Ivy
Ray Winstone - Penguin
Sam Rockwell - Riddler
Viggo Mortenson - Hugo Strange
Ralph Fiennes - Mr. Freeze
Daniel Day Lewis - Ra's al Ghul

@Earthbound - Good choices, a shame some of them wouldn't do CBM's
