Joe Manganiello Reveals When Ben Affleck’s ‘Batman’ Starts Filming

One of the most anticipated films in the DC Extended Universe, is the upcoming untitled Batman solo-film which will star Ben Affleck reprising the role of the Dark Knight, which he will also be directing. In a recent interview with ET Online, Joe Manganiello, who will be playing Slade Wilson a.k.a. Deathstroke, revealed that the upcoming DC film will be starting production in the spring of 2017.

He was asked about how he was doing after a recant health scare to which he said “Great, man, just getting ready to go shoot Batman in the spring.”

Manganiello has recently shared on social media that he is definitely getting ready for the film. On Twitter he has shared images of several comic book series that he has been reading up on as research with a number of Deathstroke titles and more.

Ben Affleck’s solo Batman film, which stars Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Joe Manganiello as Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner James Gordon and (yet to be confirmed) Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, has yet to be given a release date. The screenplay was written by Affleck and Geoff Johns, co-head of the DC Films and president of DC Entertainment.
