Ben Affleck calls Justice League reshoots the low point of his career

Affleck describes negative production experience

The actor stated that the overall experience was so negative for many different reasons. He noted that personal factors and a tragedy occurring at the time contributed to the difficulty. Affleck also observed how the studio clashed with the filmmaker, which he believes leads to mistakes.

Studio replaced director during production

Warner Bros removed Zack Snyder from the project after his daughter died by suicide. The studio then hired Joss Whedon to oversee extensive reshoots that changed the film's tone. Affleck said being taken off the movie and doing the new scenes was a shitty experience.

Resulting film failed commercially

The final product became a critical and commercial misfire for Warner Bros. Affleck expressed gladness that Snyder released his version of the film later. He described the reshoots as covering new material that did not improve the situation.
