Ben Affleck would be a great addition to the MCU, especially as a villain
In late 2022, a Marvel insider claimed that Ben Affleck was in talks with Marvel to join the MCU for an unspecified role. The move made some sense for two reasons. First, Affleck was done with playing Batman for the DCEU, as that superhero universe of movies is going in a different direction.
Second, there's an obvious role Ben Affleck could return to for at least one MCU movie. That's Daredevil, a cameo of which is rumored for an upcoming Marvel movie.
Now, another insider claims that Ben Affleck is in talks to join the MCU. This could always be about a Deadpool & Wolverine cameo. Word on the street is that the Deadpool sequel will undergo reshoots in which they might add cameos to the highly anticipated Marvel movie.
But what if Affleck's talks with Marvel are about something else? I'd love it if the actor were to return to the superhero genre, but I wouldn't want to see him play Daredevil more than a cameo. We have Charlie Cox as the MCU's main Daredevil, and that's a character who might appear in various movies, in addition to his own Disney Plus show. It would be even more exciting to see Affleck play a villain in the MCU, especially a recurring one. Some spoilers might follow below.
