A British actor born in the 1990s took on the role of Batman? DC: We haven't finished the script yet

According to foreign media reports, there have been rumors that British actor Jack O'Connell may replace Ben Affleck as the new Batman in the DC Universe, and will play at least one of the roles in the new Batman movie. But later this rumor was denied.

DC has not yet officially announced that Ben Affleck will no longer play the role of Batman, but it is generally believed that it is unlikely that he will continue to play the role.

Rumor has it that DC wants to create a younger Batman, and Jake Gyllenhaal, Oscar Isaac, Kit Harington, and Noah Centineo have all been reported as possible candidates.

Jack O'Connell is the latest candidate on this rumored list. However, Beto Gonzalez, editor-in-chief of Heroic Hollywood, now tweeted that this is not the case, as the production company is currently focusing on locking in the script. "The rumor that Jack O'Connell will play Batman has been officially shot down. The rumor is 100 percent wrong. The current DC is committed to finalizing the script first and then looking for actors."

What can be confirmed at the moment is that the new "Batman" will be directed by Matt Reeves, the director of the second and third films in the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" series, and Ben Affleck will return as a producer.

Reeves has revealed that the new Batman movie will not tell an "origin story" and will not follow Nolan's "Dark Knight Trilogy" to draw from Frank Miller's comic book "Batman: Year One". Reeves said that the film will not be adapted from comics, "We are doing a story that defines why Batman became Batman, and trying to tell an emotional story to show that he is the greatest detective in the world and all the reasons why he has fascinated me since I was a child."
