Ben Affleck has opened up about why his time filming 2017s Justice League was the worst experience.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times published Friday, Affleck said working on the superhero film was a low point in his career due to a number of factors, including competing agendas.

The two-time Oscar winner also pointed to his divorce from Jennifer Garner (the couple filed for divorce in 2017 after announcing their split in 2015), his time away from home, the death of director Zack Snyders daughter and the reshooting of scenes, as reasons for his experience.

Joss Whedon took over to complete the film (a move that became controversial ) after Snyder stepped down from his role during post-production after his daughter Autumns death in March 2017.

It just was the worst experience. It was awful, Affleck told the LA Times. It was everything that I didnt like about this. That became the moment where I said, Im not doing this anymore. Its not even about, like, Justice League was so bad. Because it could have been anything.

Whedon, who created Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has been accused of being emotionally abusive and toxic on the set of the late-1990s to early-2000s series and its spinoff Angel. In 2020, Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg in the 2017 Justice League, similarly accused Whedon of being abusive, gross and unprofessional on the set of the superhero film.
