During the red carpet premier of Ron Howard’s Rush, Hans Zimmer (Nolan’s Batman Trilogy, Man of Steel) is asked about his upcoming films. He lets slip about a movie that he was told not to discuss (MoS2 possibly?) and shortly thereafter is asked about Man of Steel 2 (Batman vs. Superman) directly.
In discussing his role in the movie, Zimmer does not confirm being officially on board. He does say “we” when conversing on the topic of Batman’s inclusion in the hotly anticipated sequel. He finished his comments on this topic with “I might give you a new Batman, if I do it.”
On his thoughts on the controversial casting of Ben Affleck, Zimmer calls the director/actor/screenwriter “a great filmmaker.” He further elaborates that “He’s smart. He wouldn’t have taken it if he had set himself up for a fall. And, you know, he’s a bit older, that’s what we need. And he has a great chin.”
Sounds like we might get more Mr. Zimmer in the DC Universe on film and we have a “thumbs up” from him on the casting of Ben Affleck.
