The role of Bruce Wayne in “Batman V Superman” and “Justice League” was almost someone very different from star Ben Affleck.

In a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, filmmaker Zack Snyder revealed that he already has a second option if the Oscar winner refuses the proposal.

During the conversation with presenter Josh Horowitz, the director revealed that Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts had been considered for the role of the vigilante of Gotham. The star is best known for her roles in the films “Rust and Bones”, “The Danish Girl”, “Reins of Redemption” and “Old Guard”.

“I talked to him a lot. […] He never got to wear a Batman costume, but I made a lot of prototypes for him because Ben was on the fence, you know. And I don’t blame him. Anyone would be on the fence if asked, “Do you want to play Batman?” “

It should be remembered that fans continue to appeal on the internet for Warner to restore SnyderVerse.

The new social media campaign with the hashtag #RestoreTheSnyderVerse broke the 1.5 million tweets mark in just 24 hours.

The previous record was for the hashtag #AvengersEndgame with 1.4 million tweets in just 24 hours.

Do you think the studio should meet demand or move on?

“In Zack Snyder’s ‘Justice League’, determined to ensure that Superman’s (Henry Cavill) ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) aligns his forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an impending threat of catastrophic proportions.The task is more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face demons from their own past to transcend what was holding them back , allowing them to regroup and ultimately form an unprecedented league of heroes. Now united, Batman (Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra Miller) could be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad and Darkseid and their terrible intentions. ”.
