Details regarding Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s wedding have been slowly leaking online. The latest piece of information reveals that Affleck quoted one of his films on the eve of the big event. The line in question comes from the film Live By Night, which was one of Affleck’s directorial efforts and received praise from critics. According to a report from Upprox, the line was “This is heaven. Right here. We’re in it now.” The report noted that the line is one of Lopez’s favorites. The 2016 film came in the midst of Affleck’s turn as Batman for Warner Bros. The actor infamously had issues while performing as the Dark Knight for the studio, which led to his alcohol abuse.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez recently reunited after years of being apart. The two became friends during the filming of the romantic film Gigli. As their relationship grew, the tabloids started referring to the couple as “Bennifer.” Their planned engagement in 2003 was called out due to “excessive media attention,” and they eventually broke up. The two began dating again in April of 2021, which marked 20 years from the first time they started a romantic relationship. They would announce their second engagement the following year, once again getting the attention of the media. On July 16th, the couple was married in Las Vegas. Affleck reuniting with Lopez has been compared to a fairy tale. Affleck, who previously dated actress Ana de Armas, seemingly found his way back to happiness after falling into difficult times. The actor came to terms with his alcoholicism a few years ago and is back to making films.

One of the projects that he’s rumored to be involved in is the next installment of the Aquaman franchise, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Jason Momoa, who stars as the aquatic superhero, recently teased Ben Affleck’s appearance in the upcoming sequel. Affleck’s potential appearance in the Aquaman sequel comes as Warner Bros. is currently looking to revamp its DC Universe. The Aquaman sequel was recently pushed to December 2023, giving the studio enough time to decide whether to continue what has already been established in the DCEU or start fresh. Affleck’s Batman was considered a high point in the DCEU, with many fans praising Affleck’s portrayal as Bruce Wayne in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Affleck is confirmed to also appear in the upcoming Flash movie, which stars Ezra Miller. Many have wondered if Affleck would be done playing Batman after The Flash; however, the recent news of Affleck possibly appearing in the Aquaman sequel has made everyone question if the actor is genuinely done playing the iconic DC character.

Regardless of Ben Affleck’s next appearance as the dark knight, fans of the actor are probably just glad to see him recover from his addiction. Beyond his involvement in comic book movies, Affleck will also reunite with Matt Damon in an upcoming film about the founding of Nike and the company’s partnership with famed basketball star Michael Jordan.
