Matt Damon would jump at a superhero role… if Ben Affleck directs

July 13, 2016 by Gary Collinson

During the premiere of his new film Jason Bourne, Matt Damon was asked – for about the 100th time – if he has any interest in portraying a superhero on the big screen.

Previously Damon had suggested that he’d like to take on the role of Daredevil if Christopher Nolan was directing, and now he’s revealed that he’d jump at the chance of playing a superhero… if his good buddy Ben Affleck was behind the camera.

““I’d consider anything with the right director, but I can’t imagine there are any superheroes left, I think they’re all taken at this moment,” Damon told Irish Examiner. “If [Ben] was directing me, I’d jump on it in a New York minute. I’d love to work with Ben.”

Well, as it happens, Ben Affleck does have a superhero project on his upcoming slate, as he’s set to direct himself in a solo Batman movie. So, could we possibly see Matt Damon joining the DC Extended Universe alongside Batfleck, and if so, which character would you like to see him play? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below…
