\n\tBen Affleck<\/a> is getting real about the \u201clow point\u201d of his career, pinpointing it to the time he was filming\u00a0Justice League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a new interview, the actor opened up about the reshoots and how Warner Bros<\/a>. handled the whole situation.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe truth is, the experience of Justice League was so, so negative for lots of different reasons,\u201d Affleck said on the Happy Sad Confused<\/a> podcast. \u201cSome of which having to do with where I was personally, some of which having to do with the tragedy that happened during the time, and also the fact that I really saw how not to make a movie like that when the studio is at odds with the filmmaker. You\u2019re really making a mistake. That was what really doomed that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Batman v Superman disappointed at the box office, the studio felt pressure to make Zack Snyder\u2019s Justice League lighter and more appealing to audiences. During post-production, Snyder experienced a family tragedy, and Warner Bros. hired Joss Whedon to oversee reshoots, which drastically shifted the film\u2019s storyline and tone.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBoy, that was shitty,\u201d he said. \u201cHim being taken off that movie, and the reshoots that we did\u2013if you want the low point of my career, [it] was that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAffleck noted that \u201cSomebody\u2019s death by suicide, that eclipses everything. And the way that was, I thought, frankly, used as an excuse\u2026 I just thought that was one of the shittiest things I\u2019ve ever seen. It was so gross. And then the whole environment and vibe, much of which I wasn\u2019t privy to, but that I sort of heard about secondhand in terms of Ray [Fisher] and Gal [Gadot] and other people\u2019s experiences. It was just like \u2018Wow, this is about as gross as it gets.’\u201d<\/p>\n
