<p>Ben Affleck said he was &#8220;miserable&#8221; during the filming of &#8220;Justice League,&#8221; remarking it almost made him quit Hollywood altogether.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ben-affleck">50-year-old</a> actor said he was drinking way &#8220;too much&#8221; when he had to be away from his kids in 2016 while filming the DC superhero movie in London, the <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/ben-affleck-air-production-company-grammys-memes-justice-league-1235353301/">Hollywood Reporter</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;[&#8216;Justice League&#8217;] made me go, &#8216;I&#8217;m out,'&#8221; Affleck told the outlet. &#8220;I never want to do any of this again. I&#8217;m not suited.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ben Affleck&#39;s next shot. </p>
<p>The actor, filmmaker and budding CEO on the disruptive production company he launched with Matt Damon, why he’s done with DC, getting Michael Jordan’s blessing for <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AirMovie?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AirMovie</a> and the advice he took from wife Jennifer Lopez: <a href="https://t.co/yBVuMoYBYp">https://t.co/yBVuMoYBYp</a> <a href="https://t.co/QbAuaXRJRN">pic.twitter.com/QbAuaXRJRN</a></p>
<p>&mdash; The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) <a href="https://twitter.com/THR/status/1636353069943508992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 16, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;That was the worst experience I&#8217;ve ever seen in a business which is full of some sh***y experiences,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It broke my heart.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And I started to drink too much,” the actor continued. &#8220;I was back at the hotel in London, it was either that or jump out the window. And I just thought, &#8216;This isn&#8217;t the life I want. My kids aren&#8217;t here. I&#8217;m miserable.'&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Gone Girl&#8221; star and husband of Jennifer Lopez also said that the experience left such a bad &#8220;taste&#8221; in his mouth he decided not to direct his own &#8220;Batman&#8221; film.</p>
<p>Initially, Zach Snyder was in charge of directing the DC movie but left during production after a death in his family. Joss Whedon stepped in to help, but Affleck said it just made things worse.</p>
<p>&#8220;There was an idea of someone [Whedon] coming in, like, &#8216;I&#8217;ll rescue you and we&#8217;ll do 60 days of shooting and I&#8217;ll write a whole thing around what you have. I&#8217;ve got the secret,'&#8221; the &#8220;Good Will Hunting&#8221; star said. &#8220;And it wasn&#8217;t the secret. That was hard.&#8221;</p>

<p>Affleck said if DC came to him now and asked him to direct a movie he wouldn&#8217;t work under James Gunn, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-affleck-says-no-to-directing-dc-movies-under-new-studio-head-james-gunn">reported</a>. Gunn and Peter Safran recently took over as heads for DC Studios.</p>
<p>&#8220;I would not direct something for the [James] Gunn DC,&#8221; Affleck said. &#8220;Absolutely not.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I have nothing against James Gunn,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Nice guy, sure he&#8217;s going to do a great job. I just wouldn&#8217;t want to go in and direct in the way they&#8217;re doing that. I&#8217;m not interested in that.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Deep Water&#8221; star was previously married to actress Jennifer Garner for more than a decade. The two share three kids. Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance in 2021 and finally walked down the aisle at a chapel in Las Vegas in July 2022, 18 years after they got engaged for the first time.</p>
