While Variety <\/a>is reporting that WB<\/strong> is looking to get Ben Affleck<\/strong> to direct their adaptation of The Justice League<\/em><\/strong>, the site Deadline<\/a> is reporting that Affleck’s<\/strong> reps are saying its not gonna happen.<\/p>\n

While most of the article that Deadline<\/a> has posted seems to be speculation, they do point out that aside from Chris Nolan<\/strong>, the studio passes all their big picture ideas to David Yates<\/strong> and Ben Affleck<\/strong>, and although its possible that the studio may want Afflec<\/strong>k, its also possible that Ben Affleck<\/strong> may not want to do it.<\/p>\n

While Deadline<\/a> is reporting that Affleck’s<\/strong> reps have clearly denied the rumors that he would actually take the job, its still in the realm of possibilities.
