Matt Damon is jealous of Ben Affleck because Ben got to play the Caped Crusader, according to Ben. "He is very bitter. All he gets to do is Jason Bourne. Just keep doing it again and again. We get it," he jokingly said during his appearance on "Popcorn with Travers".
It's not that Ben's foreshadowing the fallout of his and Matt's friendship. In fact, Ben treasures their longtime friendship. "Being friends and having a guy to go through all that stuff with. To have a relationship and have a sense humor about it, it's crucial," he said.
In a recent interview with ET Online, Ben even revealed his plans to spend Christmas with Matt. "I can tell you that we're going to do skiing in Montana with our family and Matt Damon's family and my brother's family. It should be a lot of fun," he gushed.
Back in October, Matt spoke about the possibility of him playing a superhero. He told ComicBook.com when promoting "The Great Wall" at New York Comic Con, "Ben and I grew up reading ['Daredevil']. That was our guy. That was the comic I read and they've done it." He added, "I probably still have, in my mom's basement, a lot of those old comics. I really did love that character. The comic book fans would know better than me if there was any cool character I could come and play."
Ben will be seen reprising his role as Batman in next year's "Justice League". He is currently writing and is set to direct and produce his standalone Batman movie. Meanwhile, Matt will appear in upcoming historical movie "The Great Wall" due out in February 2017.
