Justice League: Ben Affleck on Superman ‘porn star twist’ in new movie

The actor was rumoured to have returned to work as the DC icon with a moustache for another movie.

As such, editors were allegedly left trying to remove it with CGI.

“It was a full-on porn-star moustache,” Affleck joked to Empire.

“He looked like a porn star from the ’70s, just with a better body.”

He added: “It’s a different twist [on Superman].”

The star, whose involvement in the franchise has been put under scrutiny several times this year, also spoke of his huge enthusiasm for the Zack Snyder movie, which releases next month.

“The movie’s bigger in scale than any movie I’ve been involved with in my career,” he beamed. “It feels massive in terms of the visual elements. 

“That’s something that Zack (Snyder, director) is really good at. That will be admired.”

Affleck will be joined by the likes of Gal Gadot in the movie, hot on the heels of her smash hit role as Wonder Woman earlier this year.

The film’s major success helped revive hope in the DC EU after lukewarm performances from Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad in recent years.

Justice League is out on November 17.
